Scientific paper

We propose to take a deep X-ray image of the nearby aligned radio galaxy 3C321 with Chandra ACIS-S. There has been a big controversy over the nature of the huge scattering regions observed in the aligned radio galaxies. These scattering regions can have enormous amount of gas which is possibly flowing into the central part of the radio galaxies, analogous to the cooling flow seen in the cluster of galaxies, if the scatterers are electrons. A number of observations have actually pointed the scatterers to be electrons. We propose that this can be robustly addressed simply by spatially resolving the scattering region in X-ray, since the electron scattering region should still be detected while dust scattering region will be essentially gone in the X-ray.
