We propose a 70 ks Chandra/ACIS-S observation of the brightest knot of the X-ray filament associated with the Centaurus A Northern Middle Radio Lobe (NML). Our XMM-Newton observation of this feature determined that the emission was thermal and most likely the result of a jet interaction with cold, dense gas. Our observation will study shocks and other surface brightness features in the filament to better constrain the velocities and overall energetics of the interaction. In particular, we will assess the relative importance of shock-heating versus ablation in the interaction. Cen A is the closest powerful radio galaxy, and we can study features of the jet-cloud interaction that would be unobservable in any other object.
