Detection of X‐Ray Emission from the Eastern Radio Lobe of Pictor A
The XMM-Newton satellite has revealed extended X-ray emission from the eastern radio lobe of the Fanaroff-Riley II radio galaxy Pictor A. The X-ray spectrum, accumulated on a region covering about half the entire radio lobe, is well described by both a thermal (kT = 5 keV) model and a power …
