Caption: Figure 9.

The left panel is a diagram of the shock region in NGC 1275. The background image is the Chandra soft X-ray emission between 0.5 and 2.0 keV described in Section 2.2; the contours highlight the Hα emission. We highlight the location of the shock front (blue) as detected in A. C. Fabian & J. S. Sanders (2006). In the right-hand panel, we show the WHAN plot for the bar in the shock region (orange) and the small northern filament (green) that has not yet gone through the shock.
