Scientific paper

Astrophysical jets are ubiquitous in the universe, yet the collimation and acceleration mechanisms for these outflows are unclear. Accretion disks, however, are likely to play a key role. White dwarfs have possibly the best-understood disks, so symbiotic stars (SS), which are one of most recently identified classes of jet-producing objects, are promising observational targets. The first X-ray observation of an SS jet - a Chandra observation of R Aqr - revealed X-ray structure even more extended than the radio jets, from shock-heated gas out of thermal equilibrium. To further study the X-ray properties of SS jets, most of which are transient, plus investigate changes in the central object when a jet in ejected, we propose a Chandra TOO observation of the next SS jet that is discovered.
