Scientific paper

Observations of the fossil X-ray jet from the black hole transient 4U 1755-33 enabled us to detect the flux decay of the southern jet, identify the X-ray emission mechanism as synchrotron radiation, and place constraints on the energetics of the jet. We propose for a third observation with the goals of detecting decay in the northern jet, more accurately measuring the southern jet decay, and searching for motions within the jet. Detection of decay of the northern jet at a rate similar to the southern jet would imply that the kinetic power of the jet was comparable to the X-ray luminosity while the source was active. We also propose observations of two additional sources likely to exhibit fossil X-ray jets.
