1 X - Ray Emission from the 3 C 273
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present results from four recent Chandra monitoring observations of the jet in 3C 273 using the ACIS detector, obtained between November 2003 and July 2004. We find that the X-ray emission comes in two components: unresolved knots that are smaller than the corresponding optically emitting knots and a broad channel that is about the same width as the optical interknot region. We compute the jet speed under the assumption that the X-ray emission is due to inverse Compton scattering of the cosmic microwave background, finding that the dimming of the jet X-ray emission to the jet termination relative to the radio emission may be due to bulk deceleration.

The multiwavelength variability of 3 C 273
Aims. We present an update of the 3C 273’s database hosted by the ISDC, completed with data from radio to gamma-ray observations over the last 10 years. We use this large data set to study the multiwavelength properties of this quasar, especially focussing on its variability behaviour. Methods. We study the amplitude of the variations and the maximum variability time scales across the broad-ban...

We report the discovery of the brightest X-ray source hosted by a faint (M B = −16) dwarf galaxy in the immediate vicinity of the ultraluminous IRAS merging galaxy Mrk 273. The dwarf galaxy, 1.3 ′ away from Mrk 273, is at the tip of a faint northeast plume of Mrk 273. Its spectrum exhibits strong [OIII], Hα, [NII] emission lines, which establish the redshift of the dwarf galaxy, z = 0.0376, the...
متن کاملX - rays from the jet in 3 C 273 : clues from the radio – optical spectra
Using new deep VLA and HST observations of the large-scale jet in 3C 273 matched to 0. ′′ 3 resolution, we have detected excess near-ultraviolet emission (λ 300 nm) above a synchrotron cutoff spectrum accounting for the emission from radio through optical (λλ3.6 cm–620 nm). This necessitates a two-component model for the emission. The radio–optical–X-ray spectral energy distributions suggest a ...
