Tracing Ghost Cavities with Low Frequency Radio Observations

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Eso Astrophysics Symposia ((ESO))

Summary

We present X-ray and multi-frequency radio observations of the central radio sources in several X-ray cavity systems. We show that targeted radio observations are key to determining if the lobes are being actively fed by the central AGN. Low frequency observations provide a unique way to study both the lifecycle of the central radio source as well as its energy input into the ICM over several outburst episodes.
