| Description | We propose to observe with XMM a small number of classical double radio sources which, when combined with our (and archival) existing data, will comprise a complete sample of these targets at z > 1. We wish to make the first measurements of the magnetic field strengths of the synchrotron-emitting plasma lobes of a complete sample in order to establish the dependence of magnetic field strength on the underlying jet power. If such a link could be established, it would be an important clue as to whether jets are magnetically launched from the vicinity of their black holes or whether the magnetic fields in the lobes they feed are merely self-fields. |

| Mission Description | The European Space Agency's (ESA) X-ray Multi-Mirror Mission (XMM-Newton) was launched by an Ariane 504 on December 10th 1999. XMM-Newton is ESA's second cornerstone of the Horizon 2000 Science Programme. It carries 3 high throughput X-ray telescopes with an unprecedented effective area, and an optical monitor, the first flown on a X-ray observatory. The large collecting area and ability to make long uninterrupted exposures provide highly sensitive observations. Since Earth's atmosphere blocks out all X-rays, only a telescope in space can detect and study celestial X-ray sources. The XMM-Newton mission is helping scientists to solve a number of cosmic mysteries, ranging from the enigmatic black holes to the origins of the Universe itself. Observing time on XMM-Newton is being made available to the scientific community, applying for observational periods on a competitive basis. |
