Scientific paper

XMM-Newton and Chandra observations have shown us that inverse-Compton radiation from the lobes of powerful radio sources is widely detectable, and its study has shed new light on the energetics and dynamics of such objects. In principle, the spatial and spectral properties of this radiation offer a unique way to map the properties of the energetically dominant low-energy electron population in radio lobes, with important consequences for our understanding of the dynamics of radio sources on small and large scales. However, this can only be done with bright, nearby targets. We have recently shown that this type of study is possible in the radio galaxy Pictor A, and here propose to extend it to another source, 3C353, which we argue is the best possible target for such observations.
