Abstract
We report X-ray observations of the first six sources observed with RO SAT in our study of low-power radio galaxies. Spatial and spectral mea surements show that both resolved (thermal) and unresolved X-ray emiss ion 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 .
