Morphology – Radio Bubbles
• Two X-ray holes surrounded by bright X-ray shells
• From de-projection, surface brightness in holes is consistent with all emission being projected (holes are empty of X-ray gas)
• Mass of shell consistent with mass expected in hole
X-ray emitting gas pushed out of holes by the radio source and compressed into shells

Temperatures & Pressures
In most radio bubbles:• Gas in shells is cool• Pressure in shells ≈ outside• No large pressure jumps (shocks) Bubbles expand ≲ sound speed Pressure in radio bubbles ≈ pressure in X-ray shells• Equipartition radio pressures are ~20 times smaller than X-ray pressures in shells!?

• E ≈ 1059 ergs in Abell 2052, typical value• Divide by repetition rate of radio (from buoyant bubbles) = radio jet kinetic power

How Do Radio Sources Heat the Cooling X-ray
Gas?Enough energy, but how to get it into the cooling gas?
One possibility is sound waves and weak shocks from the radio source
