Emission from Large-Scale Jets in Quasars

Uchiyama, Yasunobu

We consider the emission processes in the large-scale jets of powerful quasars based on the results obtained with the VLA, Spitzer, Hubble, and Chandra. We show that two archetypal jets, 3C 273 and PKS 1136-135, have two distinct spectral components on large-scales: (1) the low-energy (LE) synchrotron spectrum extending from radio to infrared, and…
