The temperature of the hot cluster medium drops from $\\sim5.9$ keV to $\\sim3.9$ keV at $\\sim$ 35 kpc radius, while the temperature at smaller radii may be substantially lower. The central active galactic nucleus (AGN) outshines the whole cluster in X-rays, with a bolometric luminosity of $2.0\\times10^{46}$ erg s$^{-1}$ ($\\sim10$% of the Eddington rate). The system shows a pair of potential X-ray cavities $\\sim35$ kpc east and west of the nucleus. The cavity power is estimated within the range of $1.0\\times10^{44}$ erg s$^{-1}$ and $1.7\\times10^{45}$ erg s$^{-1}$, from different methods. The X-ray enhancements in the radio lobes could be due to inverse Compton emission, with a total 2-10 keV luminosity of $\\sim8.0\\times10^{42}$ erg s$^{-1}$. We compare 3C 220.1 with other cluster BCGs, including Cygnus A, as there are few BCGs in rich clusters hosting an FR-II galaxy. We also summarize the jet power of FR-II galaxies from different methods. The comparison suggests that the cavity power of FR-II galaxies likely under-estimates the jet power. The properties of 3C 220.1 suggest that it is at the transition stage from quasar-mode feedback to radio-mode feedback.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2020-01-02T16:13:23.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "agn feedback", "fr-ii galaxy", "hot cluster medium drops", "fr-ii radio galaxy 3c", "cavity power" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 14, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
