Scientific paper

The CXO has observed a variety of interactions between radio plasma ejected from active galaxies and the ambient ICM. The lobes of powerful radio galaxies are believed to inflate supersonically, but such expansion has been claimed in only three cases. Two of these (Cen A and NGC 4636) are nearby, low power radio galaxies and the third is the most luminous radio galaxy (Cyg A). The lobe/ICM interaction is fundamental to the dynamics of clusters of galaxies they can potentially provide enough energy to suppress cooling flows. We propose to observe the nearby (z=0.09) FR II radio galaxy 3C 388 to study the hydrodynamic properties of the bow shock surrounding the lobe. This is an ideal target for such an investigation because of its rich enviroment, proximity, and simple geometry.
