Relativistic jets in microquasars
The discovery and subsequent study of microquasars lead to major progress in our understanding of: 1) the nature of relativistic jets seen elsewhere in the universe, and 2) the connection between the accretion onto compact objects and the formation of collimated jets. A detailed account of the major...

| Sumario: | The discovery and subsequent study of microquasars lead to major progress in our understanding of: 1) the nature of relativistic jets seen elsewhere in the universe, and 2) the connection between the accretion onto compact objects and the formation of collimated jets. A detailed account of the major progress accomplished until present was published in Annual Review of Astronomy &: Astrophysics (Mirabel & Rodriguez, 1999). Here I review the questions that remain unanswered, as well as the future perspectives that this new field of research is opening. © 2002 by World Scientific Publishing Co. Pte. Ltd.
