Scientific paper

We propose a survey to search for X-ray emission associated with powerful FR-II jets in radio-loud AGN. Our sample is drawn from the MOJAVE program, which is currently studying the spectral and evolutionary properties of the 133 brightest and most compact AGN in the northern sky. Using the parsec-scale Lorentz and Doppler factors derived from our VLBA observations, we will evaluate current models for kiloparsec-scale X-ray jet emission, and address the longstanding question as to where deceleration is occurring in powerful extragalactic jets. All 32 AGN in our survey have extended jets at radio wavelengths, and 12 of 18 have been detected in X-rays with archival observations. We propose to obtain 10 ksec ACIS-S integrations of the 14 remaining AGN not yet observed with Chandra.
