Discovery of CO Clouds Associated with the X-ray Jets of SS 433: Evidence for Shock-Cloud Interaction Enhancing Nonthermal X-ray Emission

Haruka Sakemi, Hidetoshi Sano, Yasuo Fukui +7

We report the first identification of molecular clumps directly associated with the re-brightening regions of the large-scale X-ray jets of SS 433, based on ${}^{12}$CO ($J$ = 1--0)…
