NGC5128, the host galaxy of the Cen A, is the nearest elliptical galaxy, and the only one in which individual binary X-ray sources can be detected (and then only by AXAF). This allows a unique way to discriminate the hot ISM from the binary source contribution to elliptical galaxy emission. The absorption of the nuclear spectrum by the dust lane will provide diagnostics of the composition and ionization state of the absorber. The X-ray/radio jet is the closest powerful example of its kind. A detailed X-ray map will explicate jet physics, and will again serve to study the galaxy ISM through the jet interaction.
