SUMMARY:colloquium Francesco Carotenuto - Relativistic jets from black hole X-ray binaries: a MeerKAT view
DESCRIPTION:Black hole X-ray binaries (BH XRBs) can launch powerful outflows in the form of radio-emitting discrete jet ejecta\, which are generally observed to be produced during bright outburst phases and to propagate at apparently superluminal speeds. However\, little is known about the powering mechanism\, the formation and composition of these jets\, and studying them is important for understanding both their physics and their feedback on the surrounding environment. While discrete ejecta have been historically difficult to detect and to follow in their motion away from the central black hole\, the MeerKAT radio-interferometer (precursor of the SKA) is now revolutionizing the field with its exceptional sensitivity at GHz frequencies. In this talk\, I will present some of the most interesting advancements that we have obtained with MeerKAT observations of BH XRBs in the last five years\, as part of the ThunderKAT collaboration. More in detail\, I will present the MeerKAT detection of a number of new ejecta that we observed to interact with the interstellar medium (ISM) and to strongly decelerate at parsec scales far from the black hole. In this context\, covering the deceleration phase is essential for the physical modelling of the jet kinematics\, and I will discuss what is possible to learn from the application of these models on the jet physical parameters and on the properties of the environment surrounding BH XRBs.
