Relativistic outflows, or `Jets', represent one of the most obvious, important and yet poorly-explained phenomena associated with accreting relativistic objects, including X-ray binaries. In the past decade we have observed highly relativistic flows, the resultant in-situ particle acceleration in the ISM, and begun to unearth the subtleties of the accretion -- outflow coupling on timescales from seconds to years. In this chapter I shall attempt, subjectively, to describe the state of research into jets from X-ray binaries as it stands at the beginning of 2003.

    astro-ph.HE 2026-07 conditional novelty 7.0

    Transient Faraday-complex spectropolarimetric structure detected during radio flaring of Swift J1727 implies internal Faraday rotation from electron-proton jet plasma with rotating mass ~10^21 g, a small fraction of a...

  2. Observational Biases and Improved Modelling of Off-axis Relativistic Jets

    astro-ph.HE 2026-06 conditional novelty 6.0

    Incorporating receding-jet non-detections tightens kinematic posteriors by >40% for MAXI J1535, while rest-frame modelling of MAXI J1820 shows strong observational bias against Γ0 ≳ 5 and receding ejecta.

  3. Non-uniform particle injection into black hole jets by radiative magnetic reconnection

    astro-ph.HE 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Pair production via radiative magnetic reconnection near spinning black holes supplies non-uniform plasma to jets at levels sufficient to explain M87 radio emission.

  4. VLBI Diagnostics of Off-axis Jets in Radio Flares of Tidal Disruption Events

    astro-ph.HE 2025-12 conditional novelty 6.0

    Synthetic VLBI images show that an off-axis jet in AT20118hyz would display superluminal centroid motion and a non-monotonic image aspect ratio, cleanly separating it from a delayed sub-relativistic outflow.
