Scientific paper

On large scales, A2029 appears to be an exceptionally regular cluster. Surprisingly, the core reveals complex X-ray structure: broad filaments and depressions, and a large-scale spiral enhancement. The cluster core hosts a cD galaxy with a powerful radio source, as is true of most cooling flows. Yet, A2029 is unique in its lack of optical star-formation indicators. Analysis of the 20 ks archival Chandra data suggests that some of the X-ray substructure may be connected to the distorted cluster-center radio source. A foreground spiral galaxy is also seen in absorption against the core of the cluster. The proposed observations are designed to allow us to investigate the unusual core region of this cluster in order to understand how and why it is different from typical cooling flow cores.
