Scientific paper

We propose deep observations of two X-ray-bright jets newly discovered in our A02 Survey, both with optical counterparts in our HST images. The targets were selected because of their interesting physical properties. Our goals are to obtain high-quality x-ray and optical images to study the jet morphologies and determine the x-ray and optical spectra. Both the morphologies and spectra will test the origin of x-rays, whether they are from inverse Compton on microwave background phtons vs direct synchrotron emission, allowing us to determine the jet physical parameters {Lorentz factors, particle distributions, and beaming} at different locations in the jet. This has important implications on the modes of energy transport and dissipation in relativistic jets.
