Scientific paper

We propose to observe the Northern Middle Lobe (NML) of the nearby radio galaxy Centaurus A with XMM-Newton for 40 ks. A 15' long X-ray filament near the SE edge of the NML was seen by Einstein, ASCA, and ROSAT, but its origin is unclear. We will us the imaging and spectroscopic capabilities of XMM to map the morphology of this emission, determine whether this emission is thermal or non-thermal, and constrain temperatures or power-law indicies to 10% in several subregions/knots. Cen A is the only radio galaxy for which X-ray emission has been detected from multiple jets/lobes on the same side of the nucleus. This, combined with its proximity, permit us to make this unique study of jets and the jet/ISM interaction.
