Abstract
Binary systems of Population III can evolve to microquasars when one of the
stars collapses into a black hole. When the compact object accretes matter at a
rate greater than the Eddington rate, powerful jets and winds driven by strong
radiation pressure should form. We investigate the structure of the jet-wind
system for a model of Population III microquasar on scales beyond the jet-wind
formation region. Using relativistic hydrodynamic simulations we find that the
ratio of kinetic power between the jet and the disk wind determines the
configuration of the system. When the power is dominated by the wind, the jet
fills a narrow channel, collimated by the dense outflow. When the jet dominates
the power of the system, part of its energy is diverted turning the wind into a
quasi-equatorial flow, while the jet widens. From the results of our
simulations, we implement semi-analytical calculations of the impact of the
quasiequatorial wind on scales of the order of the size of the binary system.
Our results indicate that Population III microquasars might inject gamma rays
and relativistic particles into the early intergalactic medium, contributing to
its reionization at large distances from the binary system.
