The central radio source in the NGC 383 group: jet - IGM interaction ?

The NGC 383 group is a rich group of galaxies that harbours the central radio source 3C 31 = NGC 383. After presenting results from the X-ray analysis of the extended intra-group medium and the central radio galaxy, we discuss the spatial morphology of X-ray emitting gas as compared to the radio plasma and perform a comparison of the pressures of both components.
