I propose a new mechanism for explanation of nonthernal X-ray emission of large-scale AGN jets. Namely, I assume that this radiation has synchrotron origin emitted by extremely high energy protons, and discuss implications of this model for several prominent hot spots and knots resolved by Chandra in Pictor A, 3C 120, PKS 0637-752, 3C 273.

  1. Intrinsic GeV-TeV gamma-ray emission from EHSP blazars

    astro-ph.HE 2019-07 unverdicted novelty 3.0

    EHSP blazars exhibit hard intrinsic GeV-TeV spectra with high-energy peaks near TeV energies after EBL correction, based on combined Fermi-LAT and ground-based telescope data.
