Scientific paper

A detailed ionization map of the prominent emission-line filaments in the nearby radio galaxy Centaurus A is presented. The map reveals striking ionization structure which is best explained by ionizing photons arriving from the direction of the nucleus. This new evidence adds direct support to the conclusion of a recent study that the filaments are photoionized by a powerful radiation beam originating in the nucleus. Centaurus A may harbor a misdirected BL Lac object, as predicted by unified schemes relating these objects to a parent population of FR I radio galaxies.
