Scientific paper

4C 74.26 is the largest known radio quasar; its southern hotspot complex contains the most luminous known X-ray hotspot and, intriguingly it also has the largest detected angular offset between its radio and X-ray hotspot peaks. We propose to image the X-ray hotspot complex, making use of Chandra's exquisite spatial resolution to resolve the X-ray hotspot(s), going deeper that existing archival data. In so doing we can determine whether the X-ray / radio hotspot offset is the result of inverse-Compton beaming of the cosmic microwave background in a decelerating flow (Georganopoulos & Kazanas 2003) or the dentist's drill effect (Scheuer 1982) enabling us to learn about the dynamics of the jet in more detail.
