| contents | Chandra Observations of Relativistic AGN Jets Daniel A. Schwartz Física, Astronomía y Matemáticas galaxies: jets rays: galaxies quasars: general Cosmic microwave background This article reviews Chandra survey observations of jets in quasars. We interpret the X-ray emission in terms of inverse Compton scattering on the Cosmic Microwave Background. Both the spectral energy distribution andX-ray/radio morphologies support such a supposition, in many cases. This requires bulk relativistic motionof the jets at distances of 100 is of kpc from the quasar, and allows estimates of the rest frame magneticfields; provided we assume minimum energy conditions. The kinetic flux carried by the jets is very large and transported effciently. Such jets in clusters would carry more than enough energy to balance cooling ows.The IC/CMB mechanism implies that jets should maintain a constant surface brightness to arbitrarily largeredshifts -no specific evidence exists yet to support this expectation. 2007 artículo científico 0185-1101 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=57102711 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=571 Revista Mexicana de Astronomía y Astrofísica application/pdf Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México Revista Mexicana de Astronomía y Astrofísica (México) Vol.27 |
