Scientific paper

Gigahertz Peaked Spectrum (GPS) radio sources constitute a key class of objects in the study of radio source evolution: they are the most compact, and therefore, the youngest radio sources. Understanding the triggering of nuclear radio activity and the subsequent expansion of the radio structure through the ambient medium of the host galaxy requires a detailed understanding of the GPS class. GPS galaxies, however, have small radio sizes because they are most likely "young", whereas GPS quasars are thought to be small because they are confined by an unusually dense medium; they would be "old". To settle this age issue we propose to assess the existence of the putative dense quasar medium with Chandra. Either outcome will be crucial to the understanding of powerful radio source evolution.
