Scientific paper

The high mass X-ray binary LS I +61 303 has recently been classified as a new microquasar in the Galaxy. Two of these systems, SS 433 and XTE J1550-564, have shown the presence of X-ray jets in the same direction as the radio ones. We request a deep observation of LS I +61 303, which has never been observed with CHANDRA, to: 1) reveal the possible existence of an X-ray jet; 2) use this persistent jet source to test the hypothesis of shock models for the production of X-ray jets; 3) estimate the amount of kinetic energy released by the relativistic particles; 4) improve our knowledge concerning the region surrounding the source. In case this proposal is accepted we plan to conduct multi-wavelength observations to aid in the interpretation.
