Abstract:

We propose a set of four pointings (200 ks), to study the X-ray emission from the Southern giant lobe of the radio galaxy Cen A. Those lobes clearly separated from the central source, have been detected as a source of diffuse gamma-ray emission by the Fermi Telescope. The goal of the Suzaku observations is two-fold: first, to measure the diffuse component of the non-thermal X-ray emission with both the XIS and the HXD in order to determine the details of the distribution of the radiating relativistic particles (and B field), and second, to measure the thermal emission from the lobes (using primarily the XIS), to determine temperature and density of the X-ray emitting plasma, which, via consideration of pressure balance, will determine the content of energetic protons (cosmic rays).
