Scientific paper

We propose the first Chandra/ACIS-S observations of the kpc-scale circumnuclear environments in a sample of Compact Steep Spectrum (CSS) radio sources, the likely progenitors of powerful radio galaxies. Their small-scale radio ejecta mean we can simultaneously examine the roles of AGN photoionization and jet-environment interactions on gas both interior and exterior to the radio lobe. We will explore the relationship between the X-ray environment, extended [O III] NLR, and radio outflow. We will then (1) determine the role of jet-environment interactions in imparting energy into the ambient ISM, (2) assess the energetic contribution from photoionizing AGN radiation, and (3) compare the circumnuclear environments in CSS sources with those in other radio-loud and radio-quiet AGN.
