Scientific paper

The Galactic microquasar GRS 1915+105 has been active in the X-ray and radio bands for more than 10 years. The ejection of blobs of matter at relativistic velocities is frequently observed on milli-arcsecond scales in radio bands, yet jets have never been imaged on scales larger than an arcsecond. The detection of X-ray jets in XTE J1550-564 has shown that radio and X-ray fluxes do not always correlate. We have designed an observing scheme which can resolve X-ray jets within 5'' of the central source in just 30 ksec without risk to the ACIS-S array. This observation will also constrain dust scattering halo models, and probe the emerging black hole spin -- relativistic jet paradigm.
