During the last week Chandra completed the observing schedule as planned. A Chandra press release was issued on Nov 28 describing a Chandra observation of GB 1428+4217, a quasar which has a powerful X-ray and radio jet associated with it. At a distance of 12.4 billion light years this is the most distant known X-ray jet. It is argued that the brightness of the X-ray jet favors an emission mechanism where jet electrons are colliding with photons from the cosmic microwave background and boosting them to X-ray energies. For details see: http://chandra.harvard.edu/press/12_releases/press_112812.html The schedule of targets for the next week is shown below and includes an observation of Parenago523_P3 coordinated with OVRO/CARMA. |
