Abstract
We use Chandra, HST and VLA observations of M87 to investigate the physics of X-ray emission from AGN jets. We find that X-ray hotspots in the M87 jet occur primarily in regions with hard optical-to-X-ray spectra and lower than average polarization. Particle injection appears to be required both continuously in the jet sheath as well as locally at X-ray hotspots.
