Scientific paper

The central regions of galaxy clusters, frequently occupied by massive elliptical galaxies with strong radio sources interacting with dense, X-ray emitting gas, are among the most interesting and physically active regions in the Universe, and they have been extensively studied with contemporary X-ray observatories. We here propose a deep observation of an exceptional object at the low end of the cluster mass range, MKW 2, a rich galaxy group centered on a cD that exhibits remarkably strong radio jets extending 400 kpc, a scale unusual even in massive clusters. We will examine the interaction between cluster gas and radio source, measure the properties of the gas, and examine the nature of the temperature and abundance distributions.
