Scientific paper

We performed mapping observations of the Fornax A west lobe with Suzaku in order to measure X-ray brightness distribution. Thanks to the low and stable background of Suzaku, we succeeded in detecting the faint diffuse X-ray emission from the west lobe. Performing careful corrections to the obtained images, we finally measured the X-ray brightness profile extending over the lobe. By comparing the X-ray and radio profiles, the magnetic field found to be fairly constant at ~1 μG over the lobe, while the electron energy distribution is suggested to concentrate on the lobe center.
