Inverse Compton X-rays from the radio galaxy 3C 219.

Abstract (from CDS):

We report the results from a Chandra observation of the powerful nearby (z = 0.1744) radio galaxy 3C 219. We find evidence for non-thermal X-ray emission from the radio lobes which fits fairly well with a combination of inverse Compton scattering of Cosmic Microwave Background radiation and of nuclear photons with the relativistic electrons in the lobes. The comparison between radio synchrotron and IC emission yields a magnetic field strength significantly lower (∼3) than that calculated under minimum energy conditions; the source energetics is then dominated by the relativistic particles.
