Chandra large-scale extragalactic jets. I.

Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)

In this paper, we report the first stages of an investigation into the X-ray properties of extragalactic jets (XJET project).

Description

Our approach is to subject all sources for which X-ray emission has been detected by Chandra to uniform reduction procedures. Using Chandra archival data for 106 such sources, we measure X-ray fluxes in three bands and compare these to radio fluxes.

We discuss the sample, the reduction methods, and present first results for the ratio of X-ray to radio flux for jet knots and hotspots. In particular, we apply statistical tests to various distributions of key observational parameters to evaluate differences between the different classes of sources.
