Scientific paper

Over the past few years, we have identified a significant AGN population in low-redshift clusters of galaxies. These results were unexpected, given the small cold gas fractions and infrequency of mergers in clusters. Low-redshift clusters offer the best opportunity to understand these objects, yet with the exception of our recent observations of Abell 85 (z=0.055), Chandra observations have only consisted of single pointings, and therefore cover only the cores of low-redshift clusters. We propose to apply our successful mosaicing strategy to search for AGN at large clustercentric radii in two additional, well-studied, clusters to identify AGN, measure their spatial distribution, and study the host galaxy properties in order to understand these intriguing sources.
