On the Ejection Mechanism of Bullets in SS 433
/ Authors
/ Abstract
We discuss plausible mechanisms to produce bulletlike ejecta from the precessing disk in the SS 433 system. We show that nonsteady shocks in the sub-Keplerian accretion flow can provide the basic timescale of the ejection interval while the magnetic rubber-band effect of the toroidal flux tubes in this disk can yield flaring events.
