Scientific paper

An early 20 ksec Chandra observation of the X-ray bright NGC 5044 group revealed an extensive system of cool X-ray filaments and cavities in the central region of the group. The similarity of these structures with those observed in other cooling flows suggests that they were produced AGN outbursts. We recently obtained GMRT data on NGC 5044 and detected 40 mJ of unresolved emission. NGC 5044 has also been extensively observed in the optical and IR (including a recent Spitzer observation). There is a strong spatial correlation between the H_{alpha} filaments, dust, and cool x-ray filaments in NGC 5044. We propose a 80 ksec Chandra observation of NGC5044 to determine the relationships between the radio emitting plasma, molecular gas, ionized gas, dust, and x-ray emitting gas.
