Scientific paper

Although relativistic jets are present in AGN, Galactic compact objects (called microquasars) and probably gamma-ray bursts, their production and basic properties are not well-understood. Using Chandra, we have discovered extended X-ray jet emission from the black hole X-ray transient and microquasar XTE J1550-564. Based on the behavior of XTE J1550-564, we believe it is likely that X-ray jets are present for other transient microquasars in quiescence, and we propose to observe V4641 Sgr, XTE J1859+226 and CI Cam for 25 ks each with the goal of detecting X-ray jets.
