摘要:The high kinetic energy outflowing in the jets of microquasars is delivered to the surrounding
interstellar medium. This energy input can cause the formation of bow shocks and cocoons
that may be detectable from radio to gamma-ray energies. Evidences or hints of emission from
jet/medium interactions have been reported for some sources, but little has been done regarding
the theoretical modelisation of the resulting non-thermal emission. We have developed an
analytical model based on those successfully applied to extragalactic sources for the interaction
of AGN jets with their surroundings. Focusing on the adiabatic phase of the growing structures,
we give estimations of the expected luminosities through synchrotron, relativistic Bremsstrahlung
and inverse Compton processes. We conclude that the interaction structures may be detectable at
radio wavelengths, while extreme values for the jet kinetic power, the source age and the medium
density are required to make the emission at high and very high energies detectable.
