Description
Since the launch of MAXI 15 years ago, several considerable achievements have been reached in the field of Galactic accreting binary systems, especially in light of the extreme variability of their relativistic jets. These jets have now been recognized as vital component for energy transfer and angular momentum in black holes. Although the phenomenology is now rather well established, their emission and contribution to the total energy budget and the connection to the accretion disk are still the subject of active debates. In this review, I will present the most relevant observations concerning our understanding of relativistic jets in accreting systems and their coupling to the accretion disk, discussing in particular the key sources discovered by MAXI.
