Scientific paper

We propose to observe a radio galaxy, 4C 29.30 with XMM-Newton for 40ksec in order to study (1) the spectral properties of the nucleus; and (2) search for X-ray emission associated with the radio halo surrounding this source. This low redshift galaxy is embedded in a rich environment studied in optical and radio bands. The radio jets end just outside the host galaxy and this 60kpc structure is embedded in a ~600kpc radio halo. The good quality X-ray observations are missing. A short ~8ksec Chandra archival data with a low S/N do not allow for detailed analysis. Our new XMM-Newton observation will provide the best quality X-ray spectra of the radio core. The large field of view of the XMM-Newton is required for studies of any large scale emission associated with the radio halo.
