Scientific paper

We propose a 100 ksec observation of the western hot spot and jet of the nearby, FRII, powerful radio galaxy Pictor A. Our goals are to: (i) measure the change of the spatially-integrated spectral index of the hot spot through the Chandra band, in order to confirm or reject one model of the X-ray emission; (ii) map the spatial distribution of the X-ray spectral index over the hot spot; (iii) compare the X-ray, optical and radio morphologies; (iv) provide a more accurate spectral index of the jet to check the synchrotron self-Compton model of its X-ray emission; and (v) try to detect the jet all the way from the nucleus to the hot spot.
