| Abstract: | We present a Chandra image of the quasar, jet, and lobes of PKS 1354+195 (=4C 19.44). The radio jet is 18 arcsec long, and appears to be very
straight. The length gives many independent spatial resolution elements in the Chandra image while the straightness implies that the geometrical factors are constant along the jet although their values are uncertain.
We also have 4 frequency radio images with half to one arcsecond angular resolution, and use HST and Spitzer data to study
the broad band spectral energy distributions. The X-ray and radio spectra are both consistent with a spectrum f
ν
∝
ν
−0.7 for the integrated jet. Using that spectral index, the model of inverse Compton scattering of electrons on the cosmic microwave
background (IC/CMB) gives magnetic field strengths and Doppler factors that are relatively constant along the jet. Extended
X-ray emission is evident in the direction of the otherwise unseen counter-jet. X-ray emission continues past the radio jet
to the South, and is detected within both the southern and northern radio lobes. |
