Abstract
We report x-ray observations of the first six sources observed with
ROSAT in our study of low-power radio galaxies. Spatial and spectral
measurements show that both resolved (thermal) and unresolved X-ray
emission in a single source are typical, although the relative strength
and size of the resolved component varies between objects. The
unresolved X-ray component correlates well with the core radio emission
and may be dominated by nonthermal emission associated with an inner
radio jet.
