We report the discovery of the 10 kilo-parsec (kpc) scale radio lobes in theSombrero galaxy (NGC 4594), using data from the Continuum Halos in NearbyGalaxies - an Expanded Very Large Array (VLA) Survey (CHANG-ES) project. Wefurther examine the balance between the magnetic pressure inside the lobes andthe thermal pressure of the ambient hot gas. At the radii $r$ of ~(1-10) kpc,the magnetic pressure inside the lobes and the thermal pressure of the ambienthot gas are generally in balance. This implies that the jets could expand intothe surroundings at least to r ~ 10 kpc. The feedback from the active galacticnucleus (AGN) jet responsible for the large-scale lobes may help to explain theunusually high X-ray luminosity of this massive quiescent isolated disk galaxy,although more theoretical work is needed to further examine this possibility.
