Scientific paper

We propose to investigate the X-ray environment of the radio galaxy IC 310. This galaxy is the dominant member of a group that is falling into the Perseus cluster, and is also a prototypical head-tail radio galaxy. This target offers us the opportunity to study both the dynamics of group/cluster mergers and the interaction between radio jets and the ambient ISM. We will study the merger by mapping the thermodynamic parameters of the group and cluster gas, and search for shocks or other surface brightness discontinuities. A study of the interaction of the jet, particularly the stalled forward jet, and the ambient environment will allow us to better understand the internal dynamics of jets.
