The X-ray Ribs Within the Cocoon Shock of Cygnus A

We use new and archival Chandra observations of Cygnus A, totalling \(\sim\)1.9 Ms, to investigate the distribution and temperature structure of gas lying within the projected extent of the cocoon shock and exhibiting a rib-like structure. We confirm that the X-rays are dominated by thermal emission...
