Characterizing the X-ray Structure in AGN Jets (Karthik Reddy)
AXIS The X-ray emission mechanism of powerful relativistic jets from AGN on kpc scales constrains the total power the jet feeds back into the host galaxy and the cluster. This feedback has implications for galaxy evolution studies. While one-zone emission models are ruled out for most lower-redshift jets, it is still unclear for higher-redshift jets. Besides spectral analyses, studying their structure via deconvolution offers important clues. In this talk, I will describe how AXIS can improve our current understanding of the structure in these jets at low and high redshifts.
