Scientific paper

Chandra has revealed cavities in the hot atmospheres of groups and clusters, created by outbursts of the radio sources at their cores. Our understanding of such outbursts has improved greatly over the last few years, but we remain largely ignorant of important details, such as their importance for the preheating problem, particularly at group scales, and the contents of the cavities. We propose a deep, 120 ks observation of a remarkable cavity system in the compact group HCG 62. These data will allow us to place limits on the presence of thermal gas in the cavities, important for models of jet content and evolution, and to accurately quantify the total power budget of the AGN outburst, allowing an assessment of its importance for preheating.
