Scientific paper

Theoretical models of SS433 are reviewed, with special attention to accretion-disk dynamics and the 6-d periodicity, line locking, the efflux rate, and analogies between SS433 and other objects. Models in which the motion of the oppositely directed jets is explained by the precession of the entire accretion disk under the influence of a binary companion (e.g., Katz, 1980; van den Heuvel et al., 1980) are found to be most attractive, although they do not adequately explain all of the observed phenomena. It is considered more justifiable to compare SS433 with bipolar nebulae than with extragalactic jets, since the latter appear to be nonthermal phenomena.
