Scientific paper

We propose to observe two clusters of galaxies that are undergoing major mergers (A2744 and A1758). These two clusters exhibit many of the classic features of merging systems: both clusters have complex X-ray morphologies, A1758 has a NAT radio galaxy, and A2744 has a radio halo. While great advances have been made in observational cosmology over the past decade, there is still much to be learned about the impact on the basic components of clusters that occurs during the hierarchical clustering process (i.e., the hot thermal gas, galaxies, relativistic particles, and magnetic fields). Only by utilizing the high spatial resolution of Chandra can we probe the large dynamic range of features induced during the violent process of cluster merging.
