2A0335+096
Radio jets are powered by gas accretion onto supermassive black holes and inflate large bubbles in galaxy and cluster atmospheres. The energy input is substantial, but must be distributed and dissipated to suppress gas cooling and slow massive galaxy growth. XRISM's first results indicate remarkably low central velocity dispersions, irrespective of jet power, and suggest turbulent dissipation may struggle to suppress cooling. We propose a 100ks Resolve observation of 2A0335+096 to determine if the hot gas co-moves with the cool gas nebula, which traces bulk motion in the bubble's wake. We will thereby distinguish bulk motions and turbulence in the hot gas, determine which mechanism distributes the jet energy and detect a transition to sloshing motions on large scales.
