Scientific paper

Optical and near IR observations of the radio galaxy 3C 265 suggest the presence of a powerful quasar hidden in its nucleus. In order to test this possibility we propose a Chandra observation of this target. Our aim is to unveil the absorbed nucleus obtaining the intrinsic X-ray luminosity and spectrum and, at the same time, to study the effect of the nuclear photons on the relativistic electrons in the radio lobes. These electrons are directly illuminated by the nuclear photons and can efficiently up-scatter them into the X-ray band via inverse Compton. The proposed Chandra observation will also allow to constrain the energy spectrum of these scattering electrons.
