Scientific paper

We present results from a combined X-ray/low-radio-frequency study of 18 galaxy groups with a wide range of morphologies and radio powers. Most galaxies in the Universe are found in galaxy groups, whose low masses mean that AGN feedback may have a greater effect than in the more widely studied galaxy clusters. Chandra's ability to identify disturbed structures, such as shocks and cavities, complements our 235-610˜MHz GMRT observations, which are able to detect evidence of older, lower-power AGN outbursts, in some cases over multiple activity cycles. We use these data to study the relationship between the radio and mechanical power of AGN jets across 7 decades of radio luminosity, and discuss the uncertainties in this relation and its impact on models of AGN heating over cosmological time.
