Physics

Scientific paper

We propose Spitzer IRAC imaging observations to detect, for the first time, infrared emissions from the hundred-kiloparsec-scale jets of powerful quasars. From reasonable extrapolation of the measured optical flux, the bright jets that we selected are indeed detectable with Spitzer's arcsecond imaging capability. The Spitzer observations, when combined with HST and Chandra, enable us to study simple but fundamental issues regarding the largely-unknown properties of the quasar jets.
