Microquasars
J. Greiner
Abstract
Microquasars are binary systems in our Galaxy which sporadically eject matter at relativistic speeds along bipolar jets. While phenomenologically similar to quasars, their vicinity allows much more in-depth studies. I review the observational aspects of microquasars, in particular the new developments on the interplay between accretion disk instabilities and jet ejection.
