Ultraviolet and Radio Emission from the Northern Middle Lobe of Centaurus AWe present deep GALEX ultraviolet (135 - 280 nm) images of the Northern Middle Lobe (NML) of the nearby radio galaxy Centaurus A. We find that the ultraviolet emission appears to have a complex interaction with soft X-ray, H-alpha emission, and radio emission, which should help constrain various models of energy transport in the NML. We also present new 90cm VLA images of the NML. The radio morphology at this wavelength is indicative of a more complex system than either a straightforward flaring jet (Morganti et al. 1999) or a bubble with trailing stem (Saxton et al. 2001). New limits are placed on the lack of radio emission from any corresponding southern counterpart to the NML.
