Abstract:

We propose to observe a nearby radio galaxy Centaurus A (Cen A) in order to search for non-thermal X-ray emission associated with a mis-alighned jet. Recently TeV gamma-ray was detected from M87 and nonthermal X-ray emission was detected from 3C120 with Suzaku, where they are not a blazar and harbor a mis-alighned jet. COMPTEL and EGRET reported a hint of gamma-ray emission from Cen A, but it has not been established. So far, only Seyfert-like thermal-Compoton powerlaw has been detected from Cen A. By taking advantage of Suzaku capability, we study a temporal spectral variation to extract nonthermal emission by considering a different variability time scale of accretion disk component and jet one, as demonstrated for 3C120 with Suzaku.
