Chandra X-ray imaging and IC/CMB model for the inner jet of PKS 0637-752

Jaya Maithil, Daniel A. Schwartz, Aneta Siemiginowska +2

We present the X-ray surface brightness maps of the jet from the quasar PKS 0637-752, using two epochs of archival Chandra observations (1999 and 2017). We present, for the first t…

Broad-band Spectral Modeling of Large-Scale X-ray Jets in High-Redshift Quasars: An MHD-Informed Approach

Patryk Liniewicz, Łukasz Stawarz, C. C. Cheung +2

We present a systematic spectral analysis of kiloparsec-scale jets in high-redshift quasars, modeling their radio-to-X-ray emission as synchrotron radiation and inverse-comptonizat…

The LIRA-Ising Model: Estimating the boundaries of irregularly shaped X-ray sources

Kathryn McKeough, Vinay L. Kashyap, Aneta Siemiginowska +5

Mapping the boundary of an extended source is a key step in the study of its morphology. The background contamination and statistical fluctuations of typical astronomical images ma…

The changing impact of radio jets as they evolve: The view from the cold gas

Tom Oosterloo, Raffaella Morganti, Clive Tadhunter +3

We present ALMA CO(1-0) and CO(3-2) observations of a powerful young radio galaxy, PKS 0023-26, hosted by a far-infrared bright galaxy. The galaxy has a luminous optical AGN and a…

Investigating the emission mechanism in the spatially-resolved jet of two z 3 radio-loud quasars

Jaya Maithil, Daniel A. Schwartz, Aneta Siemiginowska +9

This study focuses on high-redshift, z > 3, quasars where resolved X-ray jets remain underexplored in comparison to nearby sources. Building upon previous work, we identify and con…

NuSTAR observations of a varying-flux quasar in the Epoch of Reionization

Lea Marcotulli, Thomas Connor, Eduardo Bañados +13

With enough X-ray flux to be detected in a 160s scan by SRG/eROSITA, the quasar CFHQS J142952+544717 is, by far, the most luminous X-ray source known at . We pres…
