X-ray emission from extragalactic jets

DE Harris, H Krawczynski - Annu. Rev. Astron. Astrophys., 2006 - annualreviews.org
This review focuses on the X-ray emission processes of extragalactic jets on scales
resolvable by the subarcsec resolution of the Chandra X-ray Observatory. It is divided into …

The X-ray jets of active galaxies

DM Worrall - The Astronomy and Astrophysics Review, 2009 - Springer
Jet physics is again flourishing as a result of Chandra's ability to resolve high-energy
emission from the radio-emitting structures of active galaxies and separate it from the X-ray …

Refining the fundamental plane of accreting black holes

E Körding, H Falcke, S Corbel - Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2006 - aanda.org
Context. The idea of a unified description of supermassive and stellar black holes has been
supported by the extension of the empirical radio/X-ray correlation from X-ray binaries to …

Type II quasars from the sloan digital sky survey. V. Imaging host galaxies with the hubble space telescope

NL Zakamska, MA Strauss, JH Krolik… - The Astronomical …, 2006 - iopscience.iop.org
Type II quasars are luminous active galactic nuclei (AGNs) whose centers are obscured by
large amounts of gas and dust. In this paper we present three-band Hubble Space …

A multiwavelength study of multiple spectral component jets in AGN: testing the IC/CMB model for the large-scale-jet X-ray emission

P Breiding, ET Meyer… - Monthly Notices of …, 2023 - academic.oup.com
Over∼ 150 resolved, kpc-scale X-ray jets hosted by active galactic nuclei have been
discovered with the Chandra X-ray Observatory. A significant fraction of these jets have an X …

X-ray Emission from optically selected radio-intermediate and radio-loud quasars

BP Miller, WN Brandt, DP Schneider… - The Astrophysical …, 2010 - iopscience.iop.org
We present the results of an investigation into the X-ray properties of radio-intermediate and
radio-loud quasars (RIQs and RLQs, respectively). We combine large, modern optical (eg …

Shedding new light on the 3C 273 jet with the Spitzer Space Telescope

Y Uchiyama, CM Urry, CC Cheung… - The Astrophysical …, 2006 - iopscience.iop.org
We have performed infrared imaging of the jet of the quasar 3C 273 at wavelengths of 3.6
and 5.8 μm with the Infrared Array Camera (IRAC) on the Spitzer Space Telescope. When …

New Chandra observations of the jet in 3C 273. I. Softer X-ray than radio spectra and the X-ray emission mechanism

S Jester, DE Harris, HL Marshall… - The Astrophysical …, 2006 - iopscience.iop.org
The jet in 3C 273 is a high-power quasar jet with radio, optical, and X-ray emission, whose
size and brightness allow a detailed study of the emission processes acting in it. We present …

Fermi non-detections of four X-ray jet sources and implications for the IC/CMB mechanism
