Scientific paper

The brightest cluster galaxy of Abell 193 has recently been found to contain a remarkable triple-nucleated, gravitationally bound, blue stellar core. If the result of the merger of galaxies then such an event is likely to have occured less than 1 Gyr ago, and the intracluster medium should retain clear evidence for the event. A complex jet-like radio structure suggests not only the presence of at least one active supermassive black hole, but the possibility of additional disturbance of the cluster medium. Since no high quality X-ray data exist for this nearby luminous system we propose a modest Chandra observation - enabling a unique investigation of the formation pathways of cluster galaxy stellar repositories and the supermassive black holes they harbor.
