Results from a Complete Chandra Survey of Radio Jets

Astrophysics 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

We report preliminary results from the first targets observed as part of a program to image the X-ray jets in a complete sample of radio selected jets. We have acquired Australian Telescope Compact Array and Very Large Array data with resolution 1", matching the Chandra resolution. PKS 1202-262 and PKS 0208-512 show dramatic coincidence with the initial radio jet, with the X-ray emission dropping off at the large angle radio bends, similar to the structure of PKS 0637-752.
