Scientific paper

Inverse-Compton X-rays from radio lobes and jets were long expected to determine the energy of electrons and magnetic field in radio lobes without assuming energy equipartition. In 1998, the radio galaxy Centaurus B became the first object that exhibited non-equipartition in the radio lobes (Tashiro et al. 1998). That result suggested a structure caused by possible energy transportation from particles to the magnetic fields in outflows, and large scale structures have been suggested by some authors (e.g., Isobe et al. 2002). We present an XMM-Newton observation which reveals middle scale X-ray structures, associating a jet and an inner lobe. With the fine spatial resolution, we resolve jet-like structures, from which cosmic microwave background boosted inverse-Compton X-rays are radiated, and derive physical quantities of magnetic field and electron energy.
