Scientific paper

We present preliminary results from a 42 ks Chandra/ACIS-S observation of the hot X-ray emitting cluster gas associated with the transitional FRI/FRII radio galaxy 3C288 at z = 0.246. We measure the total energy of the current outburst to be 1060 ergs. We find multiple surface brightness discontinuities in the gas indicative of either supersonic heating by the inflation of the radio lobe or a recent merger event. The X-ray isophotes do not appear to be centered on the central galaxy, demonstrating the presence of non-hydrostatic gas motions on scales of kpcs.
