摘要:

我们从一个定义明确的样本中选取了14个红移为$3 < z < 4$的射电噪类星体,给出了它们的钱德拉X射线观测结果。所有的类星体都在0.5-7.0 keV的能量带内被探测到,并且在距离类星体核心1-12”的5个物体中探测到分辨的X射线特征。X射线特征与五个类星体中的四个的已知射电特征在空间上一致。这表明这些系统包含X射线射流。测量了X射线通量和光度,并估算了喷流-堆芯X射线通量比。通量比与附近喷流系统的观测结果一致,表明观测到的X射线发射机制与红移无关。对于未检测到喷流的类星体,使用堆叠图像分析估计平均X射线喷流强度的上限。类星体核心的发射光谱提取和建模,以获得最佳拟合的光子指数,并从我们的样本中的一个类星体检测到铁K发射线。我们比较X射线光谱特性与光学和无线电发射的背景下,我们的样本和其他类星体的调查。

英文摘要:

We present Chandra X-ray observations of 14 radio-loud quasars at redshifts $3 < z < 4$, selected from a well-defined sample. All quasars are detected in the 0.5-7.0 keV energy band, and resolved X-ray features are detected in five of the objects at distances of 1-12" from the quasar core. The X-ray features are spatially coincident with known radio features for four of the five quasars. This indicates that these systems contain X-ray jets. X-ray fluxes and luminosities are measured, and jet-to-core X-ray flux ratios are estimated. The flux ratios are consistent with those observed for nearby jet systems, suggesting that the observed X-ray emission mechanism is independent of redshift. For quasars with undetected jets, an upper limit on the average X-ray jet intensity is estimated using a stacked image analysis. Emission spectra of the quasar cores are extracted and modeled to obtain best-fit photon indices, and an Fe K emission line is detected from one quasar in our sample. We compare X-ray spectral properties with optical and radio emission in the context of both our sample and other quasar surveys.
