High-energy flares from jet-clump interactions

High-mass microquasars are binary systems composed by a massive star and a compact object from which relativistic jets are launched. Regarding the companion star, observational evidence supports the idea that winds of hot stars are formed by clumps. Then, these inhomogeneities may interact with the...
