SUMMARY OF SEQUENCE NUMBER 700162

Title: HUNTING THE AGN CORES IN FR1 RADIO GALAXIES

Observer: WORRALL

Subject Category: Active Galaxies and Quasars

Seq: 700162 ObsId: 00857

Long-term Plan bin: 26-Mar-2000

ABSTRACT

We propose ACIS imaging and spectroscopy to separate the physically-distinct emission components that are confused in ROSAT HRI and PSPC images and spectra of the cores of B2 radio galaxies. We will use the ACIS high spatial resolution to resolve the cooling flows that we believe are present in some cases (and which may be a vital component of the jet-formation process) and separate them from the non-thermal AGNs. The ACIS spectral resolution will be used to measure the temperature of the gas and the spectra of the small-scale AGNs. The data obtained will further our study of the relationships between B2 radio galaxies and BL Lac objects and test the possibility that X-ray elongations seen in some ROSAT HRI images are related to the radio structures.
