A FLARE IN THE JET OF PICTOR A
A Chandra X-ray imaging observation of the jet in Pictor A showed a feature that appears to be a flare that faded between 2000 and 2002. The feature was not detected in a follow-up observation in 2009. The jet itself is over 150?kpc long and about 1 kpc wide, so finding year-long variability is surp...
