Scientific paper

We propose Chandra observations that will provide a complete, unbiased sample of radio galaxies drawn from the 2Jy sample, which already has excellent radio, optical and mid-infrared data. Our primary goal is X-ray spectra of the active nuclei: we will detect or put strong upper limits on the heavily obscured continuum emission that indicates a radiatively efficient AGN, and combine this with the uniquely good data at other wavelengths to establish a definitive picture of the ways in which black-hole activity manifests itself in these objects. We will test models in which the optical line emission class indicates powerful, radiatively inefficient AGN. We will also constrain the hot-gas environments of our targets and test models that relate accretion mode and environment in radio AGN.
