Scientific paper

The dramatic influence of radio galaxies on the ambient thermal gas in clusters has been revealed through Chandra and XMM images of cooling core systems. In addition to the sources modifying the thermal gas, the dense ICM impacts the radio source through confinement of the jets and entrainment of material. In this proposal we target the radio source NVSS 2146+82 which a member of a rare class of galaxies known as giant radio galaxies. This system extends over more than 3 Mpc and appears to be associated with an unusually rich (richness class 0 or 1 cluster) environment for this type of system. The formation mechanism for these systems is unknown, but the proposed observations will provide the first firm details on the environment of a GRG for comparison with other cluster systems.
