Explore the AWM4 and AGN feedback mechanisms in galaxies NGC 5044 and other relaxed objects, including implications for temperature gradients, cavities, and sloshing phenomena. Investigate the role of dust in cooling X-ray emitting gas to form warm Hα emitting gas.

Corona in a central BCG of a relaxed object: what are the implications for the AGN feedback loop ? • Why is it so different from other objects able to preserve the temperature gradient ? Are there others ? • Cavities close to the nucleus but not filled by 1.4 GHz emission in some groups (also NGC 4325): is that strange ? • Sloshing seems to be a rather common feature, we are starting to see that also in groups (NGC 5098, aka RGH 80, Randall+09). What are the implications (see Markevitch’s talk) ? • What if dust just aids to cool X-ray emitting gas to form warm Hα emitting gas ? SUMMARY
