الوصف: Radio-mode feedback associated with the active galactic nuclei (AGN) at the cores of galaxy clusters injects large amount of energy into the intracluster medium (ICM), offsetting radiative losses through X-ray emission. This mechanism prevents the ICM from rapidly cooling down and fueling extreme starburst activity as it accretes onto the central galaxies, and is therefore a key ingredient in the evolution of galaxy clusters. However, the influence and mode of feedback at high redshifts (z~1) remains largely unknown. Low-frequency sub-arcsecond resolution radio observations taken with the International LOFAR Telescope have demonstrated their ability to assist X-ray observations with constraining the energy output from the AGNs (or "cavity power") in galaxy clusters, thereby enabling research at higher redshifts than before. In this pilot project, we test this hybrid method on a high redshift (0.6Comment: Accepted for publication in A&A. 9 pages, 3 figures
