Measuring Velocity and Acceleration Using Doppler Shift of a Source with an Example of Jet in SS433

Jets in Micro-Quasar SS 433: Analysis involving Acceleration

“…Firstly, of significance is the value of acceleration that we get, namely, a ∼ -10 28 cm/s 2 , when assuming constant acceleration and analyzing data in Table 4 of Marshall et al [7] as per the corresponding discussion in Wagh [12]. If the material of the jet were free-streaming with velocity v J ∼ -10 9 cm/s and encountering this deceleration, then it would be brought to rest almost instantaneously in time ∼ -10 18 s!…”

“…Wagh [12] has also discussed how measurements of velocity and acceleration of the source can be effected from the Doppler shifts of its spectral lines. Cases of constant and temporally (sinusoidal) variable acceleration have, then, been analyzed in Wagh [12].…”

Abandoning the relativity of time

“…(6) is the standard formula for Doppler shift (or Eq. (5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17) on Page 143 of [13]).…”
