Physics

Scientific paper

We propose to observe the pc-scale X-ray jet of the accreting neutron star Circinus X-1 during the source's current ultra-deep minimum state to obtain a high-fidelity image of the jet and determine the emission mechanism and spectral parameters of the jet. This will allow us to measure the jet power and to probe the physics of jet formation in neutron stars, and to investigate the interaction of powerful, ultra-relativistic jets from microquasars with the ISM. Reaching our science goals will require a 100ksec ACIS-S target-of-opportunity observation.
