High-energy particle acceleration at the radio-lobe shock of Centaurus A
J. H. Croston, R. P. Kraft, M. J. Hardcastle +19
We present new results on the shock around the southwest radio lobe of Centaurus A using data from the Chandra Very Large Programme observations. The X-ray spectrum of the emission…
Chandra Reveals Twin X-ray Jets in the Powerful FR-II Radio Galaxy 3C353
J. Kataoka, L. Stawarz, D. E. Harris +7
We report X-ray imaging of the powerful FR-II radio galaxy 3C353 using the Chandra X-ray Observatory. 3C353's two 4"-wide and 2'-long jets allow us to study in detail the internal…
Evidence for Non-Hydrostatic Gas Motions in the Hot ISM of Centaurus A
R. P. Kraft, M. J. Hardcastle, G. R. Sivakoff +16
We present preliminary results from a deep (600 ks) {\em Chandra} observation of the hot interstellar medium of the nearby early-type galaxy Centaurus A (Cen A). We find a surface…
New results on particle acceleration in the Centaurus A jet and counterjet from a deep Chandra observation
M. J. Hardcastle, R. P. Kraft, G. R. Sivakoff +16
We present new deep Chandra observations of the Centaurus A jet, with a combined on-source exposure time of 719 ks. These data allow detailed X-ray spectral measurements to be made…
Inverse-Compton emission from the lobes of 3C353
J. L. Goodger, M. J. Hardcastle, J. H. Croston
Analysis of the radio synchrotron and X-ray inverse-Compton emission from radio-loud active galaxies allows us to determine their particle acceleration processes and electron energ…
