Scientific paper

A complete and systematic study of low-redshift 3CRR radio galaxies with Chandra has detected strong inverse-Compton (iC) emission from the lobes of 3C35 and 3C326. We propose to observe these exceptionally-bright iC sources (a) to compare the distributions of radio synchrotron and X-ray iC emission with far higher signal/noise than possible with Chandra; (b) to measure the X-ray spectrum at ten locations across each source to search for spectral changes associated with changes in the low-energy electron population; (c) to search for electrons leaking from the lobes; and (d) to map the thermal emission from the intergalactic gas that contains, and is being heated by, the lobe plasma.
