Abstract
A first order Fermi acceleration model is built to investigate non-thermal synchrotron and inverse-Compton infrared radiation from the inner lobes of nearby radio galaxy Centaurus A. The model’s predicted spectra are consistent with observation. However, the model is founded on assumptions and estimations that do not allow conclusive verdicts. Estimations of the local intracluster medium density, pressure, and temperature support the model’s validity because they agree with estimates of previous research.
