Comparison of the radio emission with the residual X-ray images produced with Chandra (left) and XMM-Newton (right) in the 0.5–2.0 keV band. Red indicates an excess with respect to the β-model, whereas blue is a deficit. The contours are the 3, 24, 48, 192σ of the image presented in Fig. 1, middle panel. The images are smoothed with a Gaussian filter of 2.5″ for Chandra and 15″ for XMM-Newton. The yellow cross and white mask indicate the position of the AGN of IC 5338 and the galaxy JW100, respectively. The black dashed ellipse indicates the putative position of the cavity.
