Scientific paper

ACIS-I observations of the X-ray groups around NGC6868 and NGC6861 will allow us to investigate the possible merger of these groups into a larger system. Both groups have extended, symmetric X-ray emission, centered on the bright NGC galaxies. Both have been extensively studied at other wavelengths. Of note, NGC6868 has a central radio source and studies of the stellar and ionized gas show unusual kinematics, particularly in the core. With Chandra we will search for interactions in the region between the groups, map the gas temperature and abundance within each group and study the morphology and gas temperature in the central regions to determine if cooling flows are present.
