Internal shock model for 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....
