Scientific paper

We request a deep 200 ks observation of the Perseus cluster core. The Perseus cluster is the brightest cluster in the X-ray sky. The Chandra view of the core of the Perseus cluster offers the unique opportunity to study the interaction between the radio source and the intracluster gas on scales matching the intensity gradients in the interface. The proposed observations will increase our effective ACIS-S exposure by a factor 6-8 so that we can study the detailed properties of the X-ray gas, such as temperature, metallicity and multiphase character, on scales as small as 3 arcsec (1.5 h_{50}(-1) kpc). In addition, we request a further 10 ks observation in fast readout mode of the nucleus to measure its spectrum without the effect of pile-up.
