March 15, the Chandra proposal deadline is getting closer. I decided to go ahead and submit a notice of intent for the X-ray Very Large project on jets. A final decision on the observational strategy is going to be tough, but the initial plan is to engage the team in the conversation next week. This week is devoted to the EVLA proposal and John is leading it.
Malgosia is working on a final draft of the paper describing the X-ray properties of the nucleus of our radio galaxy. The analysis are done! The issues related to IR emission and dusty torus we have been discussing over the last few weeks are still unresolved. We need more IR data from the nucleus to learn more on this, so the current paper is going to be focused on the X-ray properties. The Chandra results are new, showing some details of the absorbed AGN with surprising X-ray luminosity given the strong, extended radio structure.
