Current problems for X-ray emission from radio jets
- Abstract:
- A list is presented of known extragalactic radio jets which also have associated X-ray emission. The canonical emission processes for the production of X-rays are reviewed and the sources axe categorized on the basis of our current understanding. Although it seems clear that the X-ray emission is non-thermal, the two possible processes, synchrotron and inverse Compton emission, arise from extremely high energy (synchrotron) or extremely low energy (beaming models with IC emission), relativistic electrons. Only synchrotron self-Compton emission from a few hot-spots provides information on the 'normal' energy range of the electrons responsible for the observed radio emission.
