Scientific paper

Our cycle-7 archive project to study X-ray thermal coronae in nearby hot clusters has resulted in the discovery of more than 80 new coronae in 0.1 - 14 L* cluster galaxies. Relevant important physics, e.g., heat conduction, viscosity, SN heating and AGN feedback, can be constrained from the studies of these embedded mini-cooling cores. We propose follow-up on-axis observations of two luminous coronae (with the highest observed flux in our sample) and one faint corona to further understand: 1) The internal structure and energy balance of the embedded coronae (in unprecedented detail); 2) The X-ray faint coronae of massive galaxies; 3) Corona cooling and SMBH activity.
