Scientific paper

Microquasars are in many ways similar to their massive counterparts, the radio loud population of AGNs. One aspect that is just beginning to receive the due amount of attention is their interaction with the interstellar medium. This interaction is similar on a qualitative level. As is the case in AGN jets, the interaction of microquasar jets with the ISM should manifest itself through different observable channels, two of which we explore sequentially in this article: the inflation of radio lobes, and the production of dense shells of swept up ISM around those lobes. Extending this analogy to jets from neutron star X-ray Binaries, we present evidence for a powerful X-ray jet produced by the neutron star Circinus X-1 and show that it implies a jet-production efficiency comparable to that inferred for accreting black holes.
