Scientific paper

This paper examines the validity of the jet/grain model developed by Ramaty et al. (1984) to explain the narrow gamma-ray lines reported from SS 433 by Lamb et al. (1983) and Lamb (1984). A close examination of the physical and observational constraints in the jet system SS 433 showed that the model is untenable as an explanation for the gamma-ray lines production from that source. The most important among these constraints is that the required size of the radiating area is incompatible with the narrowness of the lines. This constraint applies not only to gamma-ray emission, but should also provide constraints on models for line emission in any wavelength.
