The first resolved imaging of milliarcsecond-scale jets in Circinus X-1

We present the first resolved imaging of the milliarcsecond-scale jets in the neutron star X-ray binary Circinus X-1, made using the Australian Long Baseline Array. The angular extent of the resolved jets is ~20 mas, corresponding to a physical scale of ~150 au at the assumed distance of 7.8 kpc. Th...
