Scientific paper

We propose to obtain high resolution X-ray images for a well defined complete sample of quasar jets. Selection is based on the flux density in extended emission which should give a sample that is unbiased with regard to orientation and possible beaming. We also select objects in which the morphology gives an indication that beaming may be important, by way of contrast. We will find good targets for detailed X-ray imaging and optical followup so that we can measure the spectral energy distributions and then test models such as the synchrotron and synchrotron self-Compton emission mechanisms. In addition, we will measure the X-ray spectra of the quasar cores in order to model the origins of jets and examine the relationship between cores and kpc scale jets.
