Chandra Observations of Nuclear X-ray Emission from a Sample of Radio Sources

J. K. Gambill, R. M. Sambruna, G. Chartas +5

We present the X-ray properties of a sample of 17 radio sources observed with the Chandra X-ray Observatory as part of a project aimed at studying the X-ray emission from their rad…

Broad-band continuum and line emission of the gamma-ray blazar PKS 0537-441

E. Pian, R. Falomo, R. C. Hartman +10

PKS 0537-441, a bright gamma-ray emitting blazar, was observed at radio, optical, UV and X-ray frequencies during various EGRET pointings, often quasi-simultaneously. In 1995 the o…

Detection of an X-ray jet in 3C 371 with Chandra

Joseph E. Pesce, Rita M. Sambruna, F. Tavecchio +4

We report the detection at X-rays of the radio/optical jet of 3C 371, from a short (10 ks) Chandra exposure in March 2000. We also present a new MERLIN observation at 1.4 GHz toget…

The HST Survey of BL Lacertae Objects. I. Surface Brightness Profiles, Magnitudes, and Radii of Host Galaxies

Riccardo Scarpa, C. Megan Urry, Renato Falomo +2

We report on a large HST imaging survey of BL Lac objects, at spatial resolution ~10 times better than previous ground-based surveys. We focus on data reduction and analysis, descr…

The HST Survey of BL Lacertae Objects. II. Host Galaxies

C. Megan Urry, Riccardo Scarpa, Matthew O'Dowd +3

We have used the HST WFPC2 camera to survey 132 BL Lac objects comprising seven complete radio-, X-ray-, and optically-selected samples. We obtained useful images for 110 targets s…

HST Observations of BL Lacertae Environments

J. E. Pesce, C. M. Urry, M. O'Dowd +3

We analyze images of BL Lacertae objects obtained with the {\it Hubble Space Telescope} WFPC2 and the F814W filter. The nine objects cover a redshift range of 0.19 to 0.997. The re…
