************************************************************************* 51136 We propose ASCA observations of the west lobe of Fornax A. The source is the radio galaxy exhibiting widly exteded lobes. We observed the radio lobes in AO-1 to discover inverse-Compton X-rays. It was the first case of detecting IC-X-rays from radio lobes, followed by IC X- ray detections from some other radio galaxies including Centaurus B. We propose to observe the West Lobe of this archetype object with a sufficient exposure, aiming at a spatially resolved study on the magnetic fields and electron energy density in the lobe. *************************************************************************
