Scientific paper

We propose to observe the nearby elliptical galaxy NGC1052 for 60 ksec with Chandra to address a variety of issues. First, we will study the interaction between the hot X-ray gas and radio jets/lobes present in this galaxy. A previous short (2 ksec) Chandra observation indicated extended soft emission at the location of the radio emission. Second, NGC1052 is the prototypical LINER galaxy, and this Chandra observation will constrain competing spectral models for the origin of LINER X-ray emission. Finally, we will constrain the X-ray binary--globular cluster connection in elliptical galaxies. NGC1052 contains a large number of globular clusters per unit light, and will be quite useful for determining if all X-ray binaries are formed within globular clusters.
