SS 433
(first microquasar discovered)
SS433 is an eclipsing X-ray binary which is
a microquasar.
The primary is a stellar-mass black hole and the secondary an A-type star.
The primary is accreting matter from the secondary, forming an
accretion disk and powering a jet.
SS433 was first listed in 1977 in a published list of
emission-line stars, and by 1980, there had been much observation
and speculation about it, including that it could include a
black hole.
