This is an animation of a high-mass X-ray binary, in which a giant blue star is in orbit around a compact companion - sometimes a neutron star and sometimes a black hole. The giant star is distorted owing to its proximity to its highly compact partner. Gas flows from the blue giant towards the black hole/neutron star and forms a gaseous pancake called an accretion disc. As it spirals to its doom, the gas is heated to very high temperatures, leading to the emission of X-rays, from which this class of system derives it name. In some X-ray binaries, such as SS433, a collimated pair of particle jets is emitted from the centre of the disc and projected into space at great speed. The exact mechanism for this is not entirely clear.
