Scientific paper

We will study the role of early-stage galaxy mergers in triggering and smothering the AGN-induced ejection of radio plasma, an important heat source in the Universe. Our X-ray and radio observations will allow us to measure the energetics and dynamics of radio-plasma/X-ray interactions, determining the pressures in both components and detecting gas features (e.g., shocks, filaments) that have a morphological association with the radio structures and galaxy motions. We focus on systems whose known properties suggest they are least complicated and which will show different aspects of triggering and smothering.
