Description

The large-scale morphology of the prototypical microquasar GRS 1758-258 resembles the Z-shape of the subclass of extragalactic radio sources known as winged radio galaxies. This new quasar-microquasar analogy allows us to study the nature of the origin of this peculiar morphology, which seems to be related to the hydrodynamical back flow. Some other implications could be stated assuming that physical processes at work are similar in Galactic and extragalactic cases
