Unraveling the Physics of Quasar Jets: Optical Polarimetry and Implications for the X-ray Emission Process
Since the launch of Chandra twenty years ago, one of the greatest mysteries surrounding Quasar Jets is the production mechanism for their extremely high X-ray luminosity. Two mechanisms have been proposed. In the first view, the X-ray emission is inverse-Comptonized CMB photons. This view requires a...
