Cluster - AGN Interaction
A ROSAT HRI image of the region around the galaxy NGC 1275 at
the centre of the Perseus cluster. The contour lines show the radio
structure as given by VLA observations. The maxima of the X-ray and radio
emission coincide with the active nucleus of NGC 1275. In contrast,
the X-ray emission disappears almost completely in the vicinity of the radio
lobes. The hot, X-ray emitting plasma has been displaced by the
relativistic, radio emitting particles.
