Scientific paper

Most galaxies in the present-day Universe are in groups and poor clusters. Groups are the building blocks from which clusters form, and they accordingly occupy an important niche in the continuum between isolated galaxies and rich clusters. We here propose to exploit the high X-ray brightnesses and relative sparseness of the NGC 383 and NGC 741 groups and their very different radio jet morphologies to understand the metallicity distribution of the intragroup gas, to test whether any abundance variations are associated with individual galaxies, and to study the interactions between the intragroup medium and the radio jets, at a level of detail not possible prior to the availability of Chandra's high angular resolution.
