Abstract

Thermal balance of the jet in the source SS433 is considered accounting for radiative and adiabatic cooling, and different heating mechanisms. We consider jet heating by the Compton effect of coronal hard X-ray photons on jet electrons, the influence of shock wave propagation along the jet, and jet kinetic energy transformation into heat via Coulomb collisions of jet and corona protons. The most important heating mechanism for the source SS433 turns out to be Coulomb collisions of jet particles with the surrounding medium.
