The Cocoon Shocks of Cygnus A: Pressures and Their Implications for the Jets and Lobes
Bradford Snios, Paul E. J. Nulsen, Michael W. Wise +18
We use 2.0 Msec of Chandra observations to investigate the cocoon shocks of Cygnus A and some implications for its lobes and jet. Measured shock Mach numbers vary in the range 1.18…
The X-ray Ribs Within the Cocoon Shock of Cygnus A
R. T. Duffy, D. M. Worrall, M. Birkinshaw +15
We use new and archival Chandra observations of Cygnus A, totalling 1.9 Ms, to investigate the distribution and temperature structure of gas lying within the projected extent…
An X-ray Imaging Survey of Quasar Jets -- The Complete Survey
H. L. Marshall, J. M. Gelbord, D. M. Worrall +8
We present Chandra X-ray imaging of a flux-limited sample of flat spectrum radio-emitting quasars with jet-like structure. X-rays are detected from 59% of 56 jets. No counterjets w…
New ALMA and Fermi/LAT Observations of the large-scale jet of PKS 0637-752 Strengthen the Case Against the IC/CMB Model
Eileen T. Meyer, Peter Breiding, Markos Georganopoulos +5
The Chandra X-ray observatory has discovered several dozen anomalously X-ray-bright jets associated with powerful quasars. A popular explanation for the X-ray flux from the knots i…
Ruling out IC/CMB X-rays in PKS 0637-752 and the Implications for TeV Emission from Large-Scale Quasar Jets
Eileen T. Meyer, Markos Georganopoulos, William B. Sparks +3
The Chandra X-ray observatory has discovered dozens of resolved, kiloparsec-scale jets associated with powerful quasars in which the X-ray fluxes are observed to be much higher tha…
Missing Gamma-Rays from kpc-scale AGN Jets: A Test of the IC/CMB Model
Eileen T. Meyer, Markos Georganopoulos, William B. Sparks +2
The physical origin of the X-ray emission in powerful quasar jets has been a long-standing mystery. Though these jets start out on the sub-pc scale as highly relativistic flows, we…
