Origin of spin–orbit misalignments: the microblazar V4641 Sgr

Origin of spin–orbit misalignments: the microblazar V4641 Sgr

Of the known microquasars, V4641 Sgr boasts the most severe lower limit (> 52{\deg}) on the misalignment angle between the relativistic jet axis and the binary orbital angular momentum. Assuming the jet and black hole spin axes coincide, we attempt to explain the origin of this extreme spin-orbit misalignment with …
