Possible Photometric Evidence of Ejection of Bullet Like Features in the Relativistic Jet source SS433

Abstract

SS433 is well-known for its precessing twin jets having optical bullets inferred through {\it spectroscopic} observation of $H_α$ lines. Recently, Chakrabarti et al. (2002) described processes which may be operating in accretion disk of SS433 to produce these bullets. In a recent multi-wavelength campaign, we find sharp rise in intensity in time-scales of few minutes in X-rays, IR and radio waves through {\it photometric} studies. We interpret them to be possible evidence of ejection of bullet-like features from accretion disks.
