Scientific paper

We propose a 40-ks ACIS-S imaging observation of 3C 288, the prototypical example of a `jetted double' radio galaxy, which displays an unusually powerful, dissipative (FRI-like) radio jet and counterjet, but FRII-like large-scale radio features. Our observations have two distinct science goals: (1) to study the hot-gas environment of 3C 288, in order to establish how the thermal atmosphere influences the propagation of the radio jet, and what its role is in governing the transitional FRI/FRII morphology of the radio outflow, and (2) to examine the methods of particle acceleration and energy transport in a dissipative jet and counterjet 100 times more radio luminous than any known FRI jet.
