Scientific paper

We propose a deep (100 ks) observation of the nearby, X-ray bright, cooling core cluster Sersic 159-03 (A S1101) which shows a broad multi-temperature structure indicating a strong interaction between the hot gas and the active galactic nucleus (AGN). Recent GMRT observations indicate the possible presence of two pairs of orthogonal radio jets. These features may be caused by a sudden change of the spin axis of the supermassive black hole or, alternatively, two different radio loud AGN may reside in the nucleus of the cD galaxy, possibly forming a gravitationally bound binary. Chandra will allow us to study in detail the interaction between the radio jets and the hot plasma, the energetics of the feedback, and discriminate on the twin AGN model for the core of the cD galaxy.
