We present a detailed analysis of a cool-core galaxy cluster Abell 3017, at a redshift of z = 0.219, which has been identified to be merging with its companion cluster Abell 3016. This study has made use of X-ray (Chandra), ultraviolet (UV) [Galaxy Evolution Explorer(GALEX)], optical [European Southern Observatory (ESO)/very large telescope (VLT)], mid-infrared [(Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE)], and radio upgraded Giant Metrewave radio telescope (uGMRT) observations of this cluster. Using various image processing techniques, such as unsharp masking, 2D fits using β models, contour binning and the use of surface brightness profiles, we show the existence of a pair of X-ray cavities, at a projected distance of ∼20 arcsec (70 kpc) and ∼16 arcsec (57 kpc), respectively, from the core of Abell 3017. We also detect an excess of X-ray emission located at ∼25 arcsec (88 kpc) south of the centre of Abell 3017, is likely due to the bulk motions in the intracluster medium either by gas sloshing or ram-pressure striping due to a merger. We find that the radio lobes are responsible for the observed X-ray cavities detected in this system. The lower values of mid-infrared WISE colour [W1-W2] and [W2-W3] imply that the central BCG of Abell 3017 is a star-forming galaxy. The current star formation rate of the central BCG, estimated from the H α and GALEX far-ultraviolet (FUV) luminosities, are equal to be ∼5.06 ± 0.78 and ∼9.20 ± 0.81 M_☉ yr^–1, respectively. We detect, for the first time, a radio phoenix ∼150 kpc away from the radio core, with a spectral index of (α <= -1.8). We also report the detection of ∼Paαemission in this cluster using ESO VLT SINFONI imaging data.
