The extended X-ray emission from radio-lobes is interpreted as the inverse-Compton scattering of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) photons by the relativistic electrons in the radio-lobes. Notably, powerful radio galaxies are often found in galaxy clusters which also give rise to extended diffuse X-ray emission from the intra-cluster hot gas, and therefore contribution to X-ray emission from radio-lobes is still not well understood. We present the study of extended X-ray emission in radio galaxies with aim to understand the energetic and magnetic field in radio galaxies. |
