Scientific paper

Astrophysical jets are ubiquitous in the universe, yet the collimation and acceleration mechanism for these outflows are unclear. Accretion disks, however, are likely to play a key role. White dwarf have possibly the best-understood disks, so symbiotic stars (SS), which are a recently identified class of jet-producing objects, are promising targets. The two SS X-ray jets that have been discovered to date (R Aqr and CH Cyg) both show X-ray structure more extended than their radio jets. 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 is ejected, we propose a Chandra TOO observation (slow turn-around) of the next SS jet that is discovered. This proposal was accepted in AO5-AO7 but not triggered.
