Scientific paper

We propose a 200ks ACIS-S observation centered on the nucleus of NGC821. This galaxy was observed in Cycle 4 by the PI for 40ksec, as part of a sample of quiescent supermassive black holes. The data suggest a 8.5'' (~1 kpc) possibly curved `jet' centered on the nucleus. This is the faintest reported nuclear jet. The luminosity of this feature is 3.5E39 ergs/s (0.2-10~keV). The proposed observations will provide the deeper data needed for a more definite understanding of this fascinating object. We also propose a set of VLA observations. While not essential to carry the science of this program, they will enhance it. NOTE: the RPS form does not allow us to enter the full set of proposed VLA observations.
