Scientific paper

3C273's jet exemplifies the problems in understanding powerful extragalactic radio jets as X-ray sources: previous observations have been insufficient to discriminate between synchrotron and inverse Compton as X-ray emission mechanism. We propose 4x40 ksec of ACIS-S imaging to check both models simultaneously. Any variability will be strong evidence for synchrotron emission. The sum of the new and archived data will triple the number of detected photons from this jet. Using these and our VLA data, we will check similarity of radio and X-ray morphology and spectra predicted by the inverse Compton model.
