Scientific paper

Recent HST images have confirmed thet the 200-kpc double radio source 0313-192 arises from a spiral galaxy. Further study of this unique AGN is hampered by our viewing the galaxy exactly edge-on. X-ray data can thus offer two important clues to how this spiral manages to produce such unusual structures - characterization of the active nucleus itself, shortward of the photoelectric absorption from gas in the galaxy disk, and search for a surrounding medium whose resistance would encourage formation of a double-lobed source. Understanding this object, by "proving the rule", should help us clarify why only elliptical galaxies can normally produce such extensive jet/lobe features.
