X-ray Environment of Radio Galaxy 4C 29.30

We propose to observe a radio galaxy, 4C 29.30 with XMMNewton for 40ksec inorder to study (1) the spectral properties of the nucleus; and (2) search forXray emission associated with the radio halo surrounding this source. This lowredshift galaxy is embedded in a rich environment studied in optical and radiobands. The radio jets end just outside the host galaxy and this 60kpc structureis embedded in a virgul600kpc radio halo. The good quality Xray observations aremissing. A short virgul8ksec Chandra archival data with a low S/N do not allow fordetailed analysis. Our new XMMNewton observation will provide the best qualityXray spectra of the radio core. The large field of view of the XMMNewton isrequired for studies of any large scale emission associated with the radio halo. truncated!, Please see actual data for full text [truncated!, Please see actual data for full text]
