Scientific paper

We propose deep observations of M84 with XMM in conjunction with H-alpha imaging from VLT that will elucidate the effects of AGN feedback on the IGM. M84 is a bright elliptical galaxy with clear cavities inflated by the AGN. We will be able to use detailed thermodynamic maps to identify the locations and extent of shock heating and constrain the energy budget of the AGN. We will also examine in detail the transport of low entropy gas using these maps in conjunction with H-alpha imaging. Using RGS we will place limits on cooling around the central engine and the level of turbulence generated in the wake of rising cavities. Finally, we will be able to probe the nature of the IGM between M84 and M86 with a mosaic of pointings.
