We propose two 112 ksec pointings at the radio brighter western lobe of Fornax Ato measure its inverse Compton (IC) and thermal emission. Xray detection of theIC signal from radio lobes provides an excellent probe of the relativisticelectron population. Combining measurements of the radio spectrum, the thermalgas pressure and the IC signal from a single radio lobe would provide the bestconstraints on the composition of the lobe. This is our objective for theproposed observations.
