Internal Shock Model for the Radio Emission of Microquasars
[chapter]
2001
Microquasars
We present a model for the radio outbursts of microquasars based on the assumption of quasi-continuous jet ejection. The jets are 'lit up' by shock fronts traveling along the jets during outbursts. The shocks accelerate relativistic particles which emit the observed synchrotron radiation. The observed comparatively flat decay light curves combined with gradually steepening spectral slopes are explained by a superposition of the radiation of the aging relativistic particle population left behind
