Scientific paper

We intend to investigate the nature of kpc-scale, systematic offsets between X-ray and radio hotspots in giant low luminosity FRII radio galaxies. The importance of our choice of targets is that it is only in low luminosity FRII radio sources that short wavelength (optical and X-ray) hotspots are offset from the radio hotspots. To clearly examine the nature of the offset we have chosen large angular size sources: our targets have an average jet length of 540 arcsecs compared to the average 10 arcsecs jet length of the radio sources studied in Marshall et al. (2005). XMM s superb spectral resolution and excellent sensitivity are essential to this work.
