Scientific paper

We propose a joint Chandra/RXTE observation of GX 339-4 to be performed as a slow ToO, and during the radio-loud low/hard state of the source. We will definitively measure the Fe line in this state and resolve it into narrow and broad components. We will also study the low energy absorption spectra, and compare our results to previous "intermediate state" spectra of the source. This will enable us to determine which features are intrinsic to the system, and which are due to the ISM. We will also study the dust scattering halo in front of the source. RXTE data will provide simultaneous measurements of the broad line, high energy continuum and reflection component, and variability information.
