Scientific paper

The early-type Virgo galaxies M84 and M89 exhibit prime examples of interactions between radio outbursts from a SMBH and the X-ray ISM. The Chandra image of M84 revealed X-ray cavities that coincide with radio lobes, as well as a jet, a hard diffuse component and a population of point sources. We propose deep ACIS-S observations to 1) investigate the interaction of the radio plasma with the X-ray emitting gas, 2) determine the origin of the extended hard emission and 3) extend the luminosity function for galactic sources. The small X-ray filled lobes and strong core radio source in M89 suggest a more recent outburst than in M84. Deep ACIS-S images of M84 and M89 will allow a detailed comparison of how the impact of a nuclear outburst on the ISM evolves over time.
