Scientific paper

Observations are proposed to study the core and extended jet of SS 433 in the cm and mm (and possibly near-IR bands). We request that near simultaneous multi-wavelength observations are coordinated with instruments with similar spacial resolutions: ATCA, EVLA, PdBI and VLT (with a coronagraph). Multi-epochs (three) will be used to study variation between the core and jet over a period of three weeks. A cross-band spectral index map at each epoch will then separate the expected power-law index of the jet, from the flat spectrum core, in order to test galactic jet models to unprecedented accuracy. In addition, the successful detection of variations in the extended jets at mm or near-IR bands will directly test changes in the outflow rate (as these bands are expected to be optically thin), whereas in the cm-bands this can be confused with changes in just the optical depth (e.g. the formation of a shock).
