Chandra Proposal Id #05400399

Scientific paper

We propose a 140ks HETGS TOO, separated into any combination of the previously observed very high (30~ks), high~(40~ks), and low~(70~ks) states in the microquasar XTE J1748-288 in order to characterize its spectral behavior during these phases. We will look for and resolve narrow absorption/emission features expected from the disk atmosphere or P-Cygni profiles indicative of a wind, and track the behavior of the strong Fe K-alpha emission which may be relativistic. Observations during the low state may give us the best opportunity for obtaining spectra, and possibly 0th order X-ray image of a relativistic jet in a microquasar. The proposed time was awarded to this proposal in Chandra cycles AO2 and AO3 -- the source has remained off.
