The properties of the X-ray holes in the intracluster medium of the Perseus cluster

ArXiv astro-ph/0111418 (2001)

Authors:

AC Fabian, A Celotti, KM Blundell, NE Kassim, RA Perley

Abstract:

High resolution X-ray and low frequency radio imaging now allow us to examine in detail the interaction and physical properties of the radio source 3C84 and the surrounding thermal gas. The radiative and dynamical properties of the inner X-ray holes, which coincide with the radio lobes, indicate that the ratio of the energy factor k and filling factor f is in the range 180

Images of an equatorial outflow in SS433

Astrophys.J. 562 (2001) L79-L82

Authors:

Abstract:

We have imaged the X-ray binary SS433 with unprecedented Fourier-plane coverage at 6cm using simultaneously the VLBA, MERLIN, and the VLA, and also at 20cm with the VLBA. At both wavelengths we have securely detected smooth, low-surface brightness emission having the appearance of a `ruff' or collar attached perpendicularly to the well-studied knotty jets in this system, extending over at least a few hundred AU. We interpret this smooth emission as a wind-like outflow from the binary, and discuss its implications for the present evolutionary stage of this system.
