The X-ray emission mechanism of large scale powerful quasar jets: Fermi rules out IC/CMB for 3C 273.
The process responsible for the Chandra-detected X-ray emission from the large-scale jets of powerful quasars is not clear yet. The two main models are inverse Compton scattering off the cosmic microwave background photons (IC/CMB) and synchrotron emission from a population of electrons separate fro...
