Scientific paper

We propose 40 ksec Chandra observations of the cluster of galaxies 3C 129. This nearby (z=0.0208) system harbors the well studied head-tailed radio galaxy 3C 129 with a long radio tail and the weaker radio source 3C 129.1. The Chandra observations will allow us: (I) to derive unique information about the structure and composition of jets of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGNs), based on a detailed analysis of the pressure balance of the Intra Cluster Medium (ICM) and the jet plasma; (II) to study the interaction of the jet with the ICM, i.e. to image the leading bow shock and the compressed gas between bow shock and radio jet, and to search for X-ray cavities where the radio structure expelled the ICM gas. Furthermore, we will perform a detailed study of the ICM properties.
