Abstract

We present unique radio observations of SS433, using MERLIN, the VLBA, and\nthe VLA, which allow us to, for the first time, properly image and derive a\nmeaningful spectral index for the `ruff' of equatorial emission which surrounds\nSS433's jet. We interpret this smooth ruff as a wind-like outflow from the\nbinary.\n
