Scientific paper

W50 is the only Galactic supernova remnant known to harbor a binary twin-jet compact object: SS 433. Our study of this fascinating SNR reveals two X-ray lobes having a knotty morphology. In the western lobe, we have evidence (from a multiwavelength campaign) of a cloud interacting with SS433's receding jet. We propose a 75 ksec ACIS-I pointing at the peak of W50-west to 1) spatially resolve thermal and non-thermal emission in the shock-excited regions, and 2) search for arcsecond-scale shock structures expected from the deposition of energy of a fast moving jet into a cloud. Chandra will provide an exquisite image and a good understanding of a Galactic micro-quasar, whose study provides a bridge from the smallest scale nebulae to the extragalactic radio jets.
