Scientific paper

Continuum-fitting spin measurements of stellar mass black holes in binary systems rely upon an assumption that the black hole's spin axis is aligned with the dynamical plane of the binary. The microquasar XTE J1550-564 offers a near-unique opportunity to test this assumption. Building upon work by Hao & Zhang, we have modeled the kinematic motion of J1550's ballistic jets using Chandra and radio data in order to constrain the tilt of the binary system.
