Baum University of Manitoba N ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Abstract We propose to observe the cores, jets and external environments of four hybrid blazars that have an FRI-like jet on one side and an FRII-like jet on the other. These hybrid blazars belong to the MOJAVE survey which has been monitoring the parsec-scale jets of >100 blazars in the northern hemisphere over more than two decades. The Chandra and HST data will be used to construct broadband spectral energy distributions at several locations along the jet to determine if the X-ray emission is synchrotron or inverse-Compton in origin. The proposed X-ray and optical data will be utilized along with extensive complementary data at radio and gamma-ray frequencies on both parsec and kpc scales, to probe into the causes of the Fanaroff-Riley dichotomy in jets. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Observations Description ------------------------ We will observe the 4 quasars with arcsecond-scale radio jets, viz., PKS 0215+015, TXS 0730+504, PKS 1036+054 and PKS 1730-130, through the Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3) on board HST, through the F160W (IR channel) and the F475W (UVIS channel) filters. The aim is to detect optical emission at various locations or knots along the jets of these quasars. Spectral index images will be made for these jet knots to understand the jet emission mechanism(s). Each target will be observed through each of the 2 filters (F160W and F475W) for 1 HST orbit each, giving a total of 8 orbits. Each orbit/visit is divided into 3 (sub-)exposures to create a 3-point LINE DITHER pattern. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 15995( 3) - 12-Jun-2020 20:15:03 - [ 2] TARGET LIST Fixed Targets ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Tar| Target | Target | Target |Coord | Radial | Flux data No | Name | Description | Position |Eqnx | Vel. | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1 QSO-J0217+01 GALAXY, ELLIPTICAL, RA=02H17M48.9548S, J2000 V = 16.09 44 JET, QUASAR DEC=+01D44'49.70" Reference Frame: Other: SIMBAD Comments: This object was generated by the targetselector and retrieved from the SIMBAD database.
