Scientific paper

Chandra has revealed that the strongly decelerating bases of the broad, bright `type I' jets in FRI radio galaxies are often synchrotron X-ray sources; the required local particle acceleration can be explained in terms of shocks and the onset of turbulence. However, some observations also show that the inner `type II' or FRII-like jets in these objects are also synchrotron X-ray sources. This is harder to explain. If these jets, which in FRIIs persist to hundreds of kpc from the nucleus, can be synchrotron sources, parts of the current standard jet model may need to be revised. We propose to test this by observing the strong, bright type II jet in the wide-angle tail radio galaxy 3C465. Our results will show whether type II jets in general have the properties of those seen in FRIs.
