Scientific paper

Observations over the past two years have found evidence for an enhanced X-ray source population in clusters of galaxies whose high luminosities suggest they are AGN. These results were unexpected, given the small cold gas fractions and infrequency of mergers in clusters. Low-redshift clusters offer the best opportunity to understand these objects, yet existing Chandra observations of clusters only consist of single pointings, and therefore cover only the central regions of low-redshift clusters. We propose to obtain multple ACIS-I observations of two well-studied, z = 0.055 clusters to measure their AGN population, its spatial distribution, and host galaxy properties in order to understand the origin and nature of these intriguing sources.
