Circinus X – 1: a runaway binary with curved radio jets

摘要: We present high-resolution radio studies at 1.47 and 4.79 GHz, made with the Australia Telescope, which show clear evidence for jet-like structure within nebula surrounding Cir X-1. The jets originate in a compact source position of binary, then extend outwards about 30 arcsec before curving back several arcmin towards nearby supernova remnant G 321.9−0.3. This behaviour can be explained if X-1 is runaway binary from explosion gave rise to When critical accretion occurs, ejects mass two collimated interact interstellar material, accelerate relativistic electrons emit continuum by synchrotron process
