SUMMARY Corona in a central BCG of a relaxed object: what are the implications for the AGN feedback loop ? Why is it so different from other objects able to preserve the temperature gradient ? Are there others ? Cavities close to the nucleus but not filled by 1.4 GHz emission in some groups (also NGC 4325): is that strange ? Sloshing seems to be a rather common feature, we are starting to see that also in groups (NGC 5098, aka RGH 80, Randall+09). What are the implications (see Markevitch’s talk) ? What if dust just aids to cool X-ray emitting gas to form warm Hα emitting gas ?
