DIRECT EVIDENCE FOR HADRON ACCELERATION IN PERSISTENT JETS OF THE MICROQUASAR 1E 1740.7--2942 WITH XRISM
We propose 100 ksec observation of the microquasar 1E 1740.7--2942 to reveal an existence of Doppler-shifted emission lines originating from ionized heavy elements in relativistic jets with XRISM/Resolve. This microquasar is persistent X-ray source with steady bipolar radio jets in the Galaxy Centre region. Previous Chandra/HETGS observation in 1999 suggested a possible narrow Doppler-shifted emission lines originating from jets. Through high resolution X-ray spectroscopy with XRISM, we will clarify whether the jet plasma is really hadronic origin and could make 1E 1740.7--2942 the second jet source which shows a direct evidence for hadron acceleration in jets after SS433.
