What Did We Learn From Chandra, Xmm-Newton And Fermi-Lat About The High Energy Emission In Young Radio Sources?

Giga-Hertz Peaked Spectrum (GPS) and Compact Steep Spectrum (CSS) radio sources comprise a large population of compact objects with radio emission fully contained within the innermost regions of the host galaxy (< a few kpc). Spectral and kinematic age measurements indicate their young age (typically < thousands years and in some cases less a few hundred years). These sources provide the important insights to the initial phase of the jet formation, radio source growth, source evolution and the jet impact on the ISM in the very central regions of the host galaxy. We have obtained Chandra and XMM-Newton observations for a large sample of these sources over several observing cycles. Our most recent Chandra observations targeted Compact Symmetric Objects (CSO) associated with the nuclear regions of nearby galaxies. All these CSO have measured kinematic ages within 100-3000 year old. I will present the results of our ongoing observing program focusing on the high energy properties of these young sources.
