We study the structure and emission of the SS 433 jets in the X-ray emittingregion and in the inner and hotter portion inside the X-ray emitting region. Inorder to consider the jet structure from the inner to outer regions we developthe hybrid model combining the conical beam and the model beam whose crosssection grows with the distance more slowly. We find that the jet beams in theinner and hotter portion are of two-temperature and emit a large amount of highenergy gamma photons. Our analyses suggest the thick absorbing envelope toexist in the SS 433 system. Based on our results, we discuss the possibleacceleration mechanism for the SS 433 jets.Comment: 15 pages.
