Scientific paper

We propose a deep, 125 ksec Chandra ACIS observation of the powerful radio galaxy PKS B2152-699. An existing short ~14 ksec Chandra observation has shown i) cavities being inflated in the inter-stellar medium (ISM) by the radio lobes, and ii) X-ray emission from a jet-cloud interaction region about 10" northeast of the nucleus where the jet is running into a cloud of dense gas and being deflected. As a result, PKS B2152-699 is the best source for estimating both the time-averaged jet power and instantaneous jet power in a single system. In addition, we propose optical integral field unit spectroscopy of the jet-cloud interaction region to complement the X-ray data to understand how this gas is being ionized.
