Scientific paper

Although jets are ubiquitous and important components in many different astrophysical systems, their formation remains very poorly understood. The pole-on jet in the symbiotic system MWC 560 serves as a Rosetta Stone for understanding pulsed, highly collimated, jets. We propose to use XMM-Newton for X-ray observations of the symbiotic star MWC 560. Due to its pole-on orientation, MWC 560 provides us with a unique opportunity to observe the launch site of the jet without intervening circumstellar obscuration, the shock-induced propagation of the jet, and its end point, where the ejecta merge into the jet head. Since sophisticated models of the jet have already been developed based on optical data, we can predict/interpret the X-ray emission of this object with reasonable confidence.
