Scientific paper

We have discovered X-ray emission from the jet of the black hole XTE J1550-564. The emission is probably due to interaction of the jets with the ISM. We propose to use Chandra (one 50 ks observations with ACIS-S) to study the dynamical evolution of the jet at a late stage. This is the last opportunity now that the western jet is getting faint, and therefore it offers a unique chance to study the late evolution of jet/ISM interaction. These observations, together with radio observations, may help us understand the physics of jet/ISM interactions, the total power of relativistic jets, and the broadband emission mechanisms of jets. This will have implications not only for the study of jets from X-ray binaries, but also for our understanding of relativistic jets from AGN.
