Several observations with a variety of detector configurations contribute to a total exposure time with the Chandra ACIS of about 100 ks. A spatial analysis of all the available X-ray data, making use of Chandra's spatial resolving power of about 0farcs4, reveals a jet that extends about 10'' to the west of the nucleus. At least four X-ray knots are resolved along the jet, which contains about 5% of the overall X-ray luminosity of the source. Previous observations of PKS 0637-752 in the radio band had identified a kiloparsec-scale radio jet extending to the west of the quasar. The X-ray and radio jets are similar in shape, intensity distribution, and angular structure out to about 9'', after which the X-ray brightness decreases more rapidly and the radio jet turns abruptly to the north. The X-ray luminosity of the total source is log LX ≈ 45.8 ergs s-1 (2-10 keV) and appears not to have changed since it was observed with ASCA in 1996 November. We present the results of fitting a variety of emission models to the observed spectral distribution, comment on the nonexistence of emission lines recently reported in the ASCA observations of PKS 0637-752, and briefly discuss plausible X-ray emission mechanisms.en-USGalaxies: activeGalaxies: jetsQuasars : individual (PKS 0637[752)X-rays: galaxiesThe Chandra X‐Ray Observatory Resolves the X‐Ray Morphology and Spectra of a Jet in PKS 0637-752Journal Article2017-02-1310.1086/317049
