Scientific paper

Thanks to the excellent spatial resolution of the Chandra X-ray Observatory, more than 40 active galactic nuclei are known to possess X-ray counterparts of radio jets on kpc to Mpc scales. We examine a systematic comparison of jet knots, hotspots and radio lobes to trace the formation history of these extended structures. We also discuss the origin of bright X-ray emissions from a number of jet-knots, which are possibly emitted by the ultra-relativistic electrons accelerated in jet boundary layers.
