The moving emission features in SS433 require a dynamical interpretation

Nature volume 279, pages 384–387 (1979)Cite this article

Abstract

New spectrophotometry of SS433 shows that the variable-wavelength emission features discovered by Margon et al. are due to the simultaneous presence of material having a substantial redshift and a substantial blueshift. A magnetic interpretation for the features is also ruled out by polarimetric measurements. Implications for dynamical models are discussed.
