Scientific paper

A complete and systematic study of low-redshift 3CRR radio sources with Chandra has detected strong inverse-Compton (iC) emission from the lobes of the two giant radio galaxies 3C 35 and 3C 326. We propose 84 ks EPIC integrations for 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 in each source to search for spectral changes that might indicate changes in the low-energy electron populations; and (c) to map the thermal emission from the intergalactic gas that contains the lobe plasma and is being heated by it.
