Scientific paper

A ROSAT HRI observation of the powerful nearby (z=0.1744) FR II radiogalaxy 3C 219 has revealed the presence of complex extended soft X-ray emission which appears to be aligned with the radio axis. It has been proposed that extended soft X-ray emission may originate by inverse Compton scattering of the nuclear radiation field by the relativistic electrons in the radio lobes. We propose an ACIS-S-BI observation of 3C 219 to study the spatial and spectral properties of the extended emission. AXAF offers the unique opportunity to disentangle the nuclear and the extended component with arcsecond resolution to obtain spatially resolved X-ray spectroscopy. Such an observation will allow to test the origin of the X-ray emission in this radiogalaxy.
