Radio emission and jets from Galactic microquasars
arXiv:astro-ph/0611413
Abstract
Thanks to aggressive campaigns of multi-wavelength observations of X-ray binaries in outbursts over the last decade or so, we have now reached a reasonable understanding of their radio phenomenology in response to changes in the global X-ray properties. Here I shall subjectively review the latest progresses made in assessing the interplay between inflow and outflow from an observational point of view, as well as point out a number of open issues that still need to be addressed both theoretically and observationally.
