Talk Title: Properties of Jets at Different Scales and the Connection to Accretion Disks
Abstract: We summarize new results on the properties of large scale extragalactic jets derived from the completion of a joint Chandra HST survey of 17 sources.In most cases inverse Compton scattering on the CMB(ICCMB) photons is the preferred mechansim to account for the X-ray emission but we also find synchrotron SEDs and in one case a synchrotron SED in the knot closest to the nucleus followed by a knot with ICCMB-like SED. In general the broad band SEDs of different emission regions along the jet show that the radio to X-ray flux ratio increases with increasing distance from the nucleus.
We discuss the implications of the new findings for the understanding of the physical properties of jets at different scales. Finally we reexamine the connection between jets and accretion disks in SMBH in the framework of a unified description of high power extragalactic jets.
