Opening angles, Lorentz factors and confinement of X-ray binary jets
We present a collation of the available data on the opening angles of jets in X-ray binaries, which in most cases are small (?10°). Under the assumption of no confinement, we calculate the Lorentz factors required to produce such small opening angles via the transverse relativistic Doppler effect. T...
