Scientific paper

The advent of NASA's Chandra X-ray Telescope, with unprecedented angular resolution and sensitivity in the energy range 0.2-10 keV, is opening a new chapter in our understanding of the physical conditions of relativistic jets in Active Galactic Nuclei. Chandra observations are showing that X-ray emission from jet kiloparsec scales is common, implying the presence of bulk motion at very large distances from the central black hole and setting new constraints for jet radiative processes. In this talk, I will review recent Chandra and multiwavelength observations of kiloparsec-scale jets, with particular emphasis on the work performed by our group.
