Scientific paper

We propose to observe the Galactic microquasar 1E 1740.7-2942 for 80 ks, while in the low-hard state, with EPIC-pn onboard XMM-Newton. This observation will allow us to detect the relativistically broadened iron line recently revealed in archival Suzaku & XMM-Newton observations. Fits to this iron line will allow us to constrain the spin of the black hole and probe its relation to the presence of large scale jets in this system.
