Physics

Scientific paper

We propose two Chandra observations (40 ks each) to detect the microquasar GRS 1915+105 in quiescence, should its current 17-year-long outburst end during the 11th Chandra observing cycle. This system has never been observed in quiescence: its properties suggest that its quiescent X-ray luminosity would be rather high (~10^34 erg/s), allowing a measurement of the spectrum and a test of models for quiescent emission in black-hole binaries. In addition, it will be possible to detect a fossil jet similar to that detected in the black hole candidate 4U 1755-33.
