Kiloparsec-Scale X-Ray Jets
Several kiloparsec-scale X-ray jets have now been discovered with the Chandra X-ray Observatory, extending up to ~50 kpc (projected distance) from the active galactic nucleus in which the jet originates. In all cases, these jets also emit radio and optical light, which can be well explained as synchrotron radiation. We suggest that in at least some
