Scientific paper

X-ray observations of AGN samples provide crucial information about both the AGN themselves and the material that obscures them. Understanding the properties of the active nuclei of radio-loud AGN is particularly vital given that these objects seem likely to have a key role in models of galaxy formation and evolution. The 2Jy sample of radio galaxies and quasars has uniquely good multiwavelength data, but until recently has been poorly studied in the X-ray. We have recently been awarded time to observe all the low-z 2Jy steep-spectrum sample with Chandra, and here propose short observations of the high-z half of the sample with XMM which will give us a complete picture of the nuclear activity in these objects, and allow a wide range of projects to be carried out.
