Scientific paper

We propose to observe the X-ray bright, z=0.14 cluster Abell 1068. We intend to map the X-ray emission in the inner 20 kpc of the cD galaxy, where an ~80 solar mass per year star burst is seen in optical imagery (H_0=50 km/s/Mpc). A1068 is a strong infrared source (consistent with being a star burst), and the cluster apparently harbors a several hundred solar mass per year cooling flow. Furthermore, optical images show strong evidence for a tidal or ram pressure interaction between the cD and two neighboring galaxies. We will use the Chandra data to measure the mass accretion rates, and we will compare them to star formation rates measured on the same spatial scales. The derived electron densities will be used to model the efficiency of ram pressure stripping in the cluster's core.
