TL;DR: In this article, a Chandra image of the central 100 kpc of the Abell 2597 cluster of galaxies shows bright irregular X-ray emission within the central dominant cluster galaxy (CDG) and two low surface brightness cavities located 30 kpc from the nucleus of the CDG.

X-Ray Supercavities in the Hydra A Cluster and the Outburst History of the Central Galaxy's Active Nucleus
Michael W. Wise,Michael W. Wise,Brian R. McNamara,Brian R. McNamara,Paul Nulsen,Paul Nulsen,John C. Houck,Laurence P. David +7 more
TL;DR: A 227 ks Chandra X-ray image of the hot plasma in the Hydra A cluster has revealed an extensive cavity system as discussed by the authors, which was created by a continuous outflow or a series of bursts from the nucleus of the central galaxy over the past 200-500 Myr.
