Abstract

The interaction between the hypersonic plasma jet from the accreting neutron star and the ambient interstellar medium is studied. It is assumed that the jet is launched from the accretion disk via the open magnetic field anchored in the disk. The analytical investigation for the structure of the working surface of the jet is carried out. The estimates of the volume stream functions in the region of the interaction between the jet and the interstellar medium are derived. The obtained results allow to examine the distribution of the plasma velocity fields in the interaction region.
