27 Jul 2001 | | Subject: | astro-ph | | Affiliation: | Astronomy Program, SEES, Seoul National University, Seoul, Korea), Myung Gyoon Lee (Astronomy Program, SEES, Seoul National University, Seoul, Korea | | Abstract: | In this paper, analytical arguments are presented that there exists a synchrotron X-ray jet on large scales in most radio-loud AGNs, based on the knowledge of the nature and physics of blazars. In blue blazars and blue-blazar-like radio galaxies, the large scale X-ray jet may get faint along the jet, while in most red blazars and red-blazar-like radio galaxies, the X-ray jet is bright on 10 kpc scales whether the jet is highly relativistic on large scales or not. In extreme red blazars in which the jet is still highly relativistic on large scales and the synchrotron peak of the inner jet lies in the infrared bands, the X-ray jet may get fainter along the jet from 10 kpc to 100 kpc scales while the optical and IR jet gets brighter. The predictions can be tested with the ongoing observations of the Chandra X-ray Observatory. | | Source: | arXiv, astro-ph/0107521 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
