Radio lobe versus X-ray cavity age estimates.

Region trad tbuoyancy tcs trefill
[Myr] [Myr] [Myr] [Myr]
Northern outer lobe/Northern outer cavity 106−170 91 120 240
Southern outer lobe/Southern outer cavity 98−163 110 140 250
Intermediate lobe/Intermediate cavity 103−122 62–64 53–69 103–120

Notes. For the age of the radio lobe (trad) derived from our analysis we report a range of values. The highest value is derived with a simple radiative Tribble model fit, while the lowest is corrected for adiabatic losses. The three X-ray cavity age estimates are based on the buoyancy timescale (tbuoyancy), the sound crossing timescale (tcs), and the refill timescale (trefill). The southern and northern outer cavity timescales are derived by Vantyghem et al. (2014), while we estimate the timescales for the intermediate cavity reporting a range of values for the different dimensions of the cavity considered.
