Scientific paper

The microquasar XTE J1550-564 (J1550) produced the very first X-ray jets to be observed from a black hole X-ray binary. By modeling its spectrum of X-ray emission, we have measured J1550's spin parameter using both the continuum-fitting and iron line techniques. At the same time, we have exploited a nearly unique opportunity to track the propagation of black hole jets over long timescales using Chandra imaging data obtained during 2000-2003. We examine the implications of these jet models for black hole spin measurements, and the connection between black hole spin and the production of relativistic jets.
