Scientific paper

We propose a 100 ks Chandra/HETGS observation of the bright neutron star low-mass X-ray binary (LMXB) GX~9+9, simultaneous with a 7 h radio observation with the VLA at 8 GHz. We will investigate the presence of X-ray narrow absorption/emission features in the Chandra spectra, which are a signature of a disk wind, and the connection of the wind with the presence of radio jet emission. The unique capabilities of Chandra/HETGS provide sufficient spectral resolution and sensitivity to study the detailed properties of the disk wind, its geometrical distribution and dynamics and its relation with the binary parameters. The VLA observations will probe the jet power as a function of the wind strength and plasma properties and the radio/X-ray flux relation in bright atoll NSs.
