Scientific paper

In the past three years Chandra observations of X-ray jets from AGN have advanced considerably our understanding of jet physics on large scales. SS 433 is the most famous X-ray binary jet system, and the prototypical `microquasar'. Powerful quasi-continuous jets are observed from milliarsec- to arsec-scales, and again on degree scales where they deform the surrounding W50 nebula. In a previous 10 ksec ACIS-S observation we have found unexpected arcsec-scale X-ray jets, for which have been able to extract spatially-resolved X-ray spectra revealing a hot continuum and Fe XXV emission lines, contrary to all models for the evolution of the jet. Based on these observations and predictions of X-ray line profiles, we request a further, deeper observation of SS 433 with ACIS-S.
