Physics

Scientific paper

We propose to take deep ACS FUV images of the bright central galaxies in two powerful cooling flow clusters for which we have VLT UBR images, with the object of determining whether the UV excesses we observe at large radii >15kpc are caused by young stars, ultrahot WR stars, or an as yet unknown source. Current models of excess UV light at the AGN-dominated centers of these galaxies cannot easily be extended to large radii. New understanding of star formation in these clusters will be directly applicable to scenarios of galaxy formation in the early universe.;
