Scientific paper

We propose ACIS imaging and spectroscopy of B2 bright-sample FRI radio galaxies. Our program has already revealed rich X-ray structure in sample members, including galaxy-scale gas, compact X-ray cores, and the first detections of kpc-scale X-ray jets in FRIs more distant than Cen A and M 87. Evidence is mounting that the jet X-ray emission is synchrotron and the jets highly shocked. The measurements will further our study of the validity of the unification of B2 radio galaxies and BL Lac objects, allowing us to test physical models for the jet emission, compare X-ray core and jet properties with other indicators of jet speed and orientation, and relate results to the X-ray gas, which must play an important role in the jet dynamics.
