Scientific paper

We propose to make detailed images with the HRC-I of the two Galactic "micro-quasars" GRS 1758-258 and 1E 1740.7-2942 in order to search for X-ray jets. Both sources have spectral and timing properties which are quite similar to the canonical black hole candidate Cyg X-1. They are also, however, associated with the time variable cores of double-lobed radio sources. This morphology is quite reminiscent of the extra-galactic radio sources, but on parsec length scales. In analogy with the radio loud AGN, we plan to search for X-ray jets which may feed the radio lobes. Because the jets may be less than an arcsecond in length, we will use the high resolution imaging capabilities of the HRC-I.
