Deep Chandra and Multicolor HST Follow-up of the Jets in Two Powerful Radio Quasars

We present deep (70-80 ks) Chandra and multicolor HST ACS images of two jets hosted by the powerful quasars 1136-135 and 1150+497, together with new radio observations. The sources have an FR II morphology and were selected from our previous X-ray and optical jet survey for detailed follow-up aimed...

Zusammenfassung:We present deep (70-80 ks) Chandra and multicolor HST ACS images of two jets hosted by the powerful quasars 1136-135 and 1150+497, together with new radio observations. The sources have an FR II morphology and were selected from our previous X-ray and optical jet survey for detailed follow-up aimed at obtaining better constraints on the jet multiwavelength morphology and X-ray and optical spectra of individual knots and to test emission models to derive physical parameters more accurately. All the X-ray and optical knots detected in our previous short exposures are confirmed, together with a few new faint features. The overlaid maps and the emissivity profiles along the jet show good correspondence between emission regions at the various wavelengths; a few show offsets between the knot peaks of
