THE FLARING ACTIVITY OF MICROQUASARS IS THE KEY TO UNDERSTANDING THE PROCESSES OF ACCRETION AND GENERATION OF JET EMISSION
Abstract and keywords
Abstract (English):
We present a study of the flaring radio variability of four microquasars during last ten years with RATAN-600. The main aim of researches is a study of the daily light curves at seven frequencies of 1.2-30 GHz and in multi-azimuthal (MA) mode, when for 5h the fluxes are measured every 5-10 minutes at 4.7 and 8.2 GHz. In SS 433 dozens of bright flares were detected over last ten years. The brightest flare (5.5 Jy at 2.3 GHz) in the total history of GRS 1915+105 research occured in August 2023. In 2024 we have detected five giant radio flares in Cyg X-3 during hypersoft-to-hard X-ray states transits. These flares reached fluxes of 13-18 Jy and have similar properties: optically thick phase in the spectra in the beginning of a flare and the exponential fading for 5-30 days. We relate these events with an efficient formation of relativistic jets during the accretion of matter from a normal star. In the Gamma-ray binary LSI+61d303 with regular flares every 26.5 days, we have detected second period of 26.93 days that can be precession period of jets. We find a clear similarity of bright flares in microquasars.
