Abstract

The X-ray internal structure of extragalactic jets is analyzed. The Lucy-Richardson deconvolution algorithm is used to restore the image of X-ray sources. The analysis was done for Chandra observations of core-dominated quasar 3C 273. The transverse profiles are built for the jet knots.

Keywords: quasars; jets; X-ray emission
