Scientific paper

The presence of luminous optical emission-line nebulae in brightest cluster galaxies is a dramatic marker for the presence of feedback or heating from the central active nucleus to the intracluster medium. Here we propose ACIS-S observations of the five brightest REFLEX clusters selected to have the most luminous optical emission-line nebulae. We shall confirm the link between emission-line gas and feedback and search for clues to the details of the heating mechanism by correlating the spatial distribution of feedback power with other cluster properties, for example, radio power or merger activity.
