Scientific paper

We propose to use the Chandra ACIS-S instrument to obtain high resolution X-ray maps of the nearby radio galaxy NGC 4410A. NGC 4410A has a very distorted radio structure, a ring of extremely luminous HII regions, stellar tidal tails and bridges, and abundant interstellar matter. ROSAT X-ray maps of this system suggest three X-ray components: a compact nuclear source, an extended halo 10 arcsec in diameter, approximately coincident with the most luminous of the HII regions, and a faint extended X-ray `tail' 2 arcmin long aligned with a stellar bridge. We propose to use Chandra to resolve these components spatially and spectrally, to distinguish X-ray emission from shocks, intracluster gas, nuclear jets, and stellar winds.
