Scientific paper

Sco X-1 is by far the brightest persistent extrasolar X-ray source in the sky. Early observations showed a bright X-ray continuum and strong K (Fe XXV) line emission. The source has been well established as an LMXB Z-source spending most of its time on the so-called flaring branch. Low energy line emission has been detected in the EINSTEIN OGS, which most likely arises from a photoionized ADC. Through its variable radio emission it was established as a Galactic-jet radio source with strong similarities to luminous radio galaxies and quasars and we expect to observe P Cygni lines from a strong disk wind as observed in Cir X-1. We developed a specific observation strategy that allows to safely observe the source with the Chandra HETGS.
