Analysis of the radio synchrotron and X-ray inverse-Compton emission from radio-loud active galaxies allows us to determine their particle acceleration processes and electron energy spectra. Previous studies have provided new constraints on…

We present the results from a Chandra observation of the powerful radio galaxy 3C 265. We detect X-ray emission from the nucleus, the radio hotspots and lobes. In particular, the lobe X-ray emission is well explained as anisotropic inverse…

We report the results from a Chandra observation of the powerful nearby (z=0.1744) radio galaxy 3C 219. We find evidence for non-thermal X-ray emission from the radio lobes which fits fairly well with a combination of inverse Compton…

We report XMM-Newton observations of three FR II radio galaxies at redshifts between 0.85 and 1.34, which show extended diffuse X-ray emission within the radio lobes, likely due to inverse-Compton up-scattering of the cosmic microwave…

Inverse Compton (IC) scattering of nuclear photons with relativistic electrons in the lobes of powerful radio galaxies and quasars can give detectable extended X-ray emission from the radio lobes if relativistic electrons with a Lorentz…

The XMM-Newton observation of the nearby FR-II radio galaxy 3C 98 is reported. In two exposures on the target, faint diffuse X-ray emission associated with the radio lobes was significantly detected, together with a bright X-ray active…

We present Chandra observations of two relatively high redshift FRII radio galaxies, 3C 432 and 3C 191 (z=1.785 and z=1.956 respectively), both of which show extended X-ray emission along the axis of the radio jet or lobe. This X-ray…

We report the detection of multiple components of X-ray emission from the two FR-II radio galaxies 3C 223 and 3C 284, based on new XMM-Newton observations. We attribute the detected X-ray emission from the lobes of both sources to…

Spectral analysis of ROSAT PSPC and ASCA archive data and a recent ROSAT HRI observation of the powerful FRII radio galaxy 3C 219 reveal an absorbed point-like source, coincident with the nucleus, and a non-thermal extended component…

Observed in a significant fraction of clusters and groups of galaxies, diffuse radio synchrotron emission reveals the presence of relativistic electrons and magnetic fields permeating large-scale systems of galaxies. Although these…

In the framework of the quasar-radio galaxies unification the radio emitting lobes of FRII radio galaxies are pervaded by an intense quasar radiation field.Inverse Compton (IC) scattering between the relativistic electrons and the…

In this study we predict the total distributions of powerful (FR II) active double-lobed radio galaxies and ghost sources, and their observable distribution in the X-ray sky. We develop an analytic model for the evolution of the lobe…

We use deep archival Chandra and XMM-Newton observations of three of the brightest cluster-centre radio galaxies in the sky, Cygnus A, Hercules A and Hydra A, to search for inverse-Compton emission from the population of electrons…

We report the results from a {\it Chandra} observation of the powerful nearby (z=0.1744) radio galaxy 3C 219. We find evidence for non--thermal X-ray emission from the radio lobes which fits fairly well with a combination of IC scattering…

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…

We discuss the extended X-ray emission seen in three archival Chandra observations, and one archival XMM-Newton observation, of the FRII radio galaxy Pictor A. The overall properties of the X-ray lobes are consistent with the conclusions of…

A follow-up X-ray study was made of the west lobe of the radio galaxy Fornax A, (NGC 1316) based on new ASCA observations made in 1997 for 98 ks, and incorporating the previous observation in 1994 for 39 ks. The 0.7--10 keV spectrum of the…

We present results on the physical states of three high-redshift powerful radio galaxies (3C 292 at z=0.7, 3C 184 at z=1, and 3C322 at z=1.7). They were obtained by combining radio measurements with X-ray measurements from XMM-Newton that…

In this talk we briefly review the inverse Compton (IC) scattering of nuclear photons in the lobes of radio galaxies and quasars. We concentrate on the possibility to test this model with the Chandra observatory and to constrain the…

A new XMM observation has made possible a detailed study of both lobes of the radio galaxy Pictor A. Their X-ray emission is of non thermal origin and due to Inverse Compton scattering of the microwave background photons by relativistic…
