Abstract
AbstractWe examine the innermost 100 parsec scale region of the Seyfert 2 galaxy NGC 1068 using a high spatial resolution X-ray image obtained with the Chandra X-ray Observatory, which allows comparison between X-ray emission clumps, optical narrow line ([OIII]) clouds and sub-arcsecond scale radio jet. Based on the combined X-ray, [OIII], and radio continuum morphology, we identify the locations of intense radio jet-cloud interaction. The [OIII] to soft X-ray ratios show that some of these clouds are strongly affected by shock heating. We estimate that the kinematic luminosity of the jet-driven shocks is 6 × 1038 erg s−1.
