| Abstract: |
Our Chandra survey of the B2 bright sample finds low-power radio galaxies to have galaxy-scale atmospheres and a compact, largely unabsorbed X-ray core. Cluster-scale gas, known to be present from ROSAT, appears as structureless background in our high-resolution images. We find kpc-scale X-ray jet emission to be common. Deep Chandra mapping of the brightest low-power radio galaxies now makes possible the detailed study of their physics. We present evidence that jet X-rays have a synchrotron origin, and address issues of particle acceleration and bulk speed. |
