摘要:

我们报告的X射线发射的射电喷流3C 17从钱德拉观测和比较X射线发射与射电地图从VLA档案和光学红外档案图像从哈勃太空望远镜。在3C 17喷流中发现了两个结的X射线探测,这两个特征在光学上都是对应的。我们推导出了射流中结的光谱能量分布,并给出了各种X射线发射模型所需的源参数,发现IC/CMB和同步加速器都可以解释高能发射。描述了一个可能与3C 17喷流有关的奇特光学特征(没有射电或X射线对应物)。我们还讨论了使用弯曲的射流识别反康普顿X射线发射通过散射CMB光子的问题。

英文摘要:

We report on the X-ray emission from the radio jet of 3C 17 from Chandra observations and compare the X-ray emission with radio maps from the VLA archive and with the optical-IR archival images from the Hubble Space Telescope. X-ray detections of two knots in the 3C 17 jet are found and both of these features have optical counterparts. We derive the spectral energy distribution for the knots in the jet and give source parameters required for the various X-ray emission models, finding that both IC/CMB and synchrotron are viable to explain the high energy emission. A curious optical feature (with no radio or X-ray counterparts) possibly associated with the 3C 17 jet is described. We also discuss the use of curved jets for the problem of identifying inverse Compton X-ray emission via scattering on CMB photons.
