Chandra Proposal Id #08700819

Scientific paper

We propose 60 ks and 35 ks Chandra/ACIS-S observations of the optically disturbed circumnuclear narrow-line environments of the ``radio-loud'' Seyfert 2 galaxies Mrk 573 and IC 5063. We will use Chandra's superb spatial resolution to explore the complex relationship between the X-ray-emitting shock-heated gas, radio outflows, and optical line-emission. We will determine the role of shocks in imparting energy into the ambient ISM, assess the part that ionizing nuclear radiation plays in governing the narrow-line morphology, and constrain the energy budgets involved in creating such disturbed circumnuclear environments.
