Scientific paper

The recently-discovered fundamental plane of black hole activity unites the radio and X-ray luminosities of accreting black holes over nine orders of magnitude in accretion rate and eight orders of magnitude in black hole mass. This is telling us something deep about the scale-invariance of the disc-jet coupling around black holes. We propose to make a deep observation of the quiescent black hole X-ray binary A0620-00 simultaneously with Chandra and the VLA to test the fundamental plane in the the (low black hole mass, very low accretion rate) regime. Detection of A0620-00 will extend the plane two orders of magnitude beyond its current range, something which is impossible via any other observation, a key observation for our understanding of the nature of black hole accretion.
