Scientific paper

The cooling flow cluster Abell 2052 has, arguably, the morphology most similar to the Perseus cluster as seen with Chandra images. Two clear bubbles to the N and S of the center of Abell 2052 are filled with the radio lobes associated with 3C 317. An unsharp-masked image reveals faint ripple features similar to those seen in the Perseus cluster which may represent the propagation of sound waves into the cluster from the radio source. We propose to observe Abell 2052 much more deeply to study the ripple features, search for ghost bubbles, search for cooling gas in the bright shells around the radio source that may link the X-ray and H-alpha emission, detect hot gas within the X-ray holes, and directly compare the star formation and cooling rates in the cluster center.
