Scientific paper

We propose a 30 ksec ACIS-S observation of a non-thermal radio source 17' away from the prorotypical microquasar GRS 1915+105, along with a 15 minutes VLA observation to have a nearly simultaneous radio measurement. This radio source is co-aligned with the small distance scale jet of GRS 1915+105, as well as two IRAS regions. Detecting X-ray emission from this region would strongly support the idea that this region is the hot spot where the jet from GRS 1915+105 is interacting with the interstellar medium and depositing the bulk of its kinetic energy. A detection would indicate that GRS 1915+105 has the largest scale extended X-ray jet of any X-ray binary, which would not be surprising given that it has the largest time average jet power of any low mass X-ray binary.
