Scientific paper

Most galaxies in the present-day Universe are in groups and poor clusters. Groups are the building blocks from which clusters form, and they accordingly occupy an important niche in the continuum between isolated galaxies and rich clusters. We here propose to exploit the high X-ray brightnesses of three selected groups with central radio sources to study the interactions between the intragroup medium and the radio sources -- in particular, to understand better the possible role of the radio sources in regulation of cooling flows -- and to examine the metallicity distribution of the intragroup gas at a level of detail not possible prior to the availability of Chandra's high angular resolution.
