Scientific paper

We propose high-resolution Chandra observations of the central cool core of Abell 3653, the rich cluster with the largest known cD galaxy peculiar velocity. Previous Chandra observations of A2670 and A2107, two other clusters with large cD motions, have shown that they are merging systems. We will search for evidence of a merger in A3653. We will compare the core velocity from the X-ray observations with the optical z of the cD. We will study hydrodynamical instabilities (e.g., convection and the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability) that are expected around the core. One might expect the cooling core to be destroyed by these instabilities. We will also study the interaction between the cD galaxy and other cluster galaxies, which gives information on cD formation processes.
