Abstract
Prior to ROSAT, separation of X-ray components in radio galaxies has been limited to a few well-known sources, e.g., M 87 and Cen A. Now, from ROSAT PSPC measurements of the first six objects in our study of low-power radio galaxies, we find that both resolved (thermal) and unresolved X-ray emission in a single source is typical (Worrall & Birkinshaw 1993; ApJ, submitted). The angular size of, and fraction of luminosity in, the resolved X-ray emission varies between objects. There is evidence to relate the unresolved X-ray emission with the inner radio jet.
