The authors reconsider the general problem of acceleration by line locking in an optically thin medium. They present analytic solutions to the coupled equations of radiation transfer and matter motion. Using these solutions, the authors derive restrictions on the physical conditions of the accelerated matter. By applying these conditions to SS 433 it is found that if the absorbing ion is light (hydrogen or helium), the matter must be highly clumped, and the acceleration has to begin at ≡1012cm. Line-locking acceleration with a hydrogen-like heavy ion such as iron demands higher than solar ion abundance.
