Scientific paper

UV observations of an X-ray bright microquasar will be made with STIS. This is part of an extensive multiwavelength target of opportunity program. These observations provide an unrivalled opportunity to obtain high quality data from an accreting black hole. We will perform detailed quantitative tests of models for outbursts. We will test our picture of irradiated and warped disk evolution, and search for evidence of outflows and anomalous abundances using UV resonance lines. The spectral energy distribution and the rapid UV variability will reveal signatures of a truncated disc if present. Such truncated discs with hot, inefficiently radiating inner accretion flows have been implicated in relativistic jet production.
