Physics

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 spans a wide range of jet physical conditions. We will find good targets for detailed X-ray imaging followup so that we can measure the spectral energy distributions and then test models such as the synchrotron and synchrotron self-Compton emission mechanisms. Shallow surveys provide an efficient use of Chandra observing time for this purpose because little time is given to targets that are too weak for effective followup. Furthermore, for a small initial observing time, it is more straightforward to estimate exposure times for followup observations.
