Scientific paper

We propose to perform a TOO observation of GRS 1915+105 in the soft state with Chandra/HETGS. Investigation of iron-K absorption lines provide us with powerful diagnostics of highly ionized plasma associated with the accretion flow of microquasars. Although such features were discovered firstly from superluminal sources, the nature of the highly ionized plasma in GRS 1915+105 and its possible relation to relativistic jet ejection still remains unclear. This is because the source stays mostly in the low/hard state, where the ions are fully ionized by the strong hard X-ray flux and a very weak feature from H-like Fe ions is observable. Previous ASCA observations indicate that the iron-K absorption features become prominent in this state, thus best suited for detailed plasma diagnostics.
