Abstract

Chandra observations of radio galaxies have demonstrated a wide range of complex interactions between their jets and the ambient interstellar/intracluster medium (ISM/ICM). In this paper, we discuss results from Chandra observations of jet/ISM interactions in three nearby radio galaxies: Centaurus A (3.4 Mpc),M87 (16 Mpc), and NGC507 (66.7 Mpc). We present observational details for each object, and discuss how these relate to the more general picture of jet/ISM interactions
