Scientific paper

From previous HETGS observations of SS 433, we modeled the X-ray emission from the jets by an optically thin plasma with abundances slightly higher than solar, obtaining the jet density and temperature structure in an abdiabatic cooling model. In an eclipse observation, the coolest part of the receding jet was blocked by the companion, so we inferred the size of the companion. With the proposed observations, we plan to a) extend the density diagnostics to higher densities, b) verify the adiabatic expansion model with the metallicity assumption with more signal in Ar and Ca lines, c) test for deceleration, fragmentation, and jet direction changes by comparing to optical and radio data, d) test the eclipse model, and e) search for more evidence of photoionization.
