Physics

Scientific paper

We propose Spitzer Space Telescope 4.5+8.0 micron IRAC imaging of the high power hotspots in two powerful 3CR quasars. Their faint optical counterparts were recently detected by us with the Hubble Space Telescope. The optical, and proposed infrared data, will allow us to measure the high energy slope of the hotspot synchrotron spectra. Utilizing archival VLA and MERLIN data in the centimeter wavelength range, these multi-wavelength observations give us adequate constraints on the overall shape of the spectra, which will allow us to test a simple prediction from particle acceleration theory.
