Jets have been discovered in a diverse range of astronomical objects (protostars, stars, galaxies, AGNs) and play an important role in the transport of mass, energy, and angular momentum. To date, the only example of a bipolar X-ray jet in a T Tauri star (TTS) is DG Tau. We propose here to observe RY Tau, which drives a similar bipolar jet but is a more luminous TTS and a brighter X-ray source. Chandra has the high angular resolution needed to search for jet X-ray emission close to the star and will provide information on jet morphology and physical conditions within the hottest regions of the jet. If the RY Tau jet emits at X-ray levels similar to that of DG Tau, it will be detected.
