Scientific paper

We propose to image the cD galaxy host of the most powerful radio outburst known in the Universe. The outburst was identified in a Chandra image of a z=0.216 galaxy cluster which revealed a pair of enormous cavities, each 200 kpc in diameter, embedded in its X-ray halo. The outburst began approximately 100 Myr ago and has expended 6x10^61 ergs. It is apparently powered by accretion onto the cD's billion solar mass nuclear black hole, which grew heavier by roughly 1/3 during the outburst. We intend to examine the morphology and nuclear environment of the host galaxy to understand the conditions that created this remarkable event.
