Scientific paper

We propose a 30 ks Chandra ACIS observation of the archetypal merger galaxy NGC 1316. NGC 1316 shows many signs of recent dynamical activity including tidal tails and prominent dust lanes. It also contains signs of nuclear activity including a sub-arcmin scale radio jet and extended radio lobes. With the proposed observation, we will be able to confirm interesting, but inconclusive X-ray signatures suggested by the ROSAT data. These include: (1) confirm the central X-ray morphology including double peaks and valleys, (2) unambiguously determine the spectral parameters to measure amount and physical characteristics of hot ISM, (3) study the interaction between radio jets and hot ISM, and (4) compare in detail the distribution of the cold/warm ISM with that of the hot ISM.
