Figure 1: Adaptively-smoothed Chandra ACIS-I images of 2 BL Lacs. North is up and East to the left. In PKS 0548-322, diffuse X-ray emission on cluster scales is apparent, while the image of 1ES 2344+514 exhibits a point source embedded in diffuse emission on the scale of the galaxy's halo. |

Figure 2: Example of energy histogram for 1ES 2321+419, illustrating the procedure needed for the composite PSF (see text). The energies, E, and weights, W, for the monochromatic PSFs are indicated by the dashed lines. |

Figure 3:
ACIS radial profiles for each source of the sample
(data points). The composite PSF, derived by merging several
monochromatic PSFs (see text), is shown superimposed to the data
(dashed line); the horizontal dotted line marks the background. For
PKS 0548-322, PKS 2005-489, and BL Lac, excess X-ray counts over the PSF are present at radii

Figure 5: X-ray contours in the energy range 0.3-8 keV overlaid on the optical images obtained from the 2.4 m Mount Palomar Telescope (POSS) archive for PKS 0548-322 (top) and PKS 2005-489 (bottom). The serendipitous X-ray sources detected with wavdetect (see text and Table 5) are marked with capital letters. North is to the top and East to the left. |
