Investigating the Origin of X-Ray Jets: A Case Study of Four Hybrid Morphology MOJAVE Blazars

Abstract We carried out Chandra, Hubble Space Telescope (HST), and Very Large Array observations of four MOJAVE blazars that have previously been classified as hybrid (FR I/II) in terms radio morphology but not total power. The motivation this study is to determine the X-ray emission mechanism jets, these being different FR I II jets. detected jet with sufficient signal noise two blazars, viz . PKS 0215+015 TXS 0730+504. spectral energy distribution modeling broadband from regions sources found a single synchrotron model ruled due deep upper limits obtained HST optical IR data. inverse Compton-cosmic microwave background can reproduce both although requires extreme parameters. Both our possess II-like powers results are consistent previous studies suggesting power more important than determining
