Scientific paper

We propose ACIS-S imaging observations of two luminous, radio-loud quasars at z = 3.6 and 4.3. Our Chandra snapshot observations of these targets revealed evidence for X-ray extension, and we aim to identify definitively whether these features are kpc-scale X-ray jets. This program should substantially increase the sample of z > 3.5 quasars with resolved X-ray jets, and we will determine the X-ray extent and morphology of each jet for comparison with VLA data. By comparing the X-ray-to-radio flux ratios of these high-redshift jets with those of closer jets, we will constrain jet X-ray emission mechanisms. These data will also allow effective investigation of intrinsic X-ray absorption in the core spectrum for one of our targets and constrain X-ray variability for both.
