Abstract
We present CHANDRA observations of the X-ray luminous, distant galaxy cluster RBS797 at z = 0.35. In the central region the X-ray emission shows two pronounced X-ray minima, which are located opposite to each other with respect to the cluster centre. These depressions suggest an interaction between the central radio galaxy and the intra-cluster medium, which would be the first detection in such a distant cluster. The minima are symmetric relative to the cluster centre and very deep compared to similar features found in a few other nearby clusters. A spectral and morphological analysis of the overall cluster emission shows that RBS797 is a hot cluster (T = 7.7(-1.0)(+1.2) keV) with a total mass of M-tot(r(500)) = 6.5(-1.2)(+1.6) x 10(14) M-..
