Radio source interactions in cluster cores

Some Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) emit jets of radio-emitting plasma which travel at relativistic speeds. In clusters of galaxies these AGN are surrounded by a thermal gas – the intra-cluster medium (ICM) – which bathes the galaxies. The temperature of the ICM is 10<sup>7</sup> to 10<...
