Scientific paper

We propose two 112 ksec pointings at the radio brighter western lobe of Fornax A to measure its inverse Compton (IC) and thermal emission. X-ray detection of the IC signal from radio lobes provides an excellent probe of the relativistic electron population. Combining measurements of the radio spectrum, the thermal gas pressure and the IC signal from a single radio lobe would provide the best constraints on the composition of the lobe. This is our objective for the proposed observations.
