We have discovered an exceptional radio/optical/X-ray microquasar in the Sculptor galaxy NGC7793 (distance of 3.4 Mpc), with a large (300 x 150 pc) shock-ionized bubble, and X-ray hot spots where the collimated jet hits the interstellar medium. The radio nebula has an integrated flux of 1.2 mJy at 6 cm (more luminous than Cas A). The system resembles the famous Galactic microquasar SS433, but on an even grander scale. We propose deeper radio observations at higher spatial resolution with the ATCA: to identify the radio hot spots; to infer the jet power from the synchrotron luminosity of the hot spots; to determine the shape of the radio cocoon and compare it with the H-alpha, HeII 4686 and X-ray nebulae; to estimate the total (integrated) energy injected in the nebula by the jet/wind, and constrain its age; to search for the radio core. Our combined radio, X-ray and optical study of this source will help us model the radiative and mechanical power budget of accreting black holes, and their feedback onto the interstellar or intergalactic medium.
