Scientific paper

The ROSAT HRI image of the Ophiuchus cluster reveals that its cD galaxy harbors the compact, but extended, X-ray source. The properties of this source appear very similar to those in Coma cD galaxies, which we have recently demonstrated to be the remnants of the warm interstellar medium compressed by the hot intracluster gas. The existence of such objects is possible only if there is a delicate balance of radiative cooling, heat conduction from the hot cluster gas, and stellar feedback. This provides a unique possibility to study these crucial physical processes in detail. We request a 50 ksec observation with ACIS-I.
