Scientific paper

Recent X-ray observations demonstrated that many radio-jets of nearby AGN are X-ray emitters. In local sources, various thermal and non-thermal emission mechanisms contribute to the observed X-ray fluxes. One of these effects, inverse Compton scattering of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) by the electrons emitting radio synchrotron emission has a strong redshift dependence. High-redshift sources even have higher brightness than local sources. We want to make use of this effect to study the particle distributions in AGN jets in the high-redshift universe and probe important physical jet parameters in a well-suited sample of AGNs.
