Scientific paper

We propose a sensitive Chandra observation of NGC 326, the archetypal Z-shaped radio galaxy. We will establish how much of a component of X-ray emission detected with ROSAT arises from a galaxy atmosphere, and measure its temperature and density. The results will test our model for Z-shaped radio sources, in which the external atmosphere is key to shaping the morphology of this important class of radio galaxy. By combining the Chandra results with our detailed radio spectral imaging we will measure the mass density of the radio plasma, and hence determine its composition. As compared with other sources for which this has been attempted, these measurements will benefit from the controlling physics being more secure.
