INTEGRAL Observations of Extragalactic Jets from the TANAMI Sample (Kadler)

Proposal Summary (based on proposal abstract)

A Key Program is proposed to study a list of hard X-ray detected extragalactic jets from the TANAMI sample in coordination with radio Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI), gamma-ray Fermi/LAT, and optical/UV/soft-X-ray Swift observations. The proposed target field contains 2 TANAMI sources, which are known to be bright hard X-ray emitters from the Swift/BAT survey. Of the TANAMI sources only Cen A has previously been observed with INTEGRAL and multiwavelength techniques. For the other objects, one will measure the spectral energy distribution (SED) of these sources for the first time with quasi-simultaneous data from the radio band to gamma-ray energies and will produce the first high-SNR hard X-ray spectra during well-determined states of the radio jets.
