We aim to test the theory that AGN are responsible for the prevention of significant gas cooling in the cores of galaxy clusters. AWM7 is the only cluster in the bright cluster sample of Dunn & Fabian (2006, 2008) with a short central cooling time no evidence of significant AGN feedback. The cluster is the 5th brightest in the sky from the HIFLUGCS ROSAT cluster sample. By doubling the signal to noise ratio of the existing Chandra observation and with a joint VLA observation, we propose to search for evidence of old or recent AGN feedback in this cluster. We will look for signs of AGN activity by looking for cavities, weak shocks or extended radio emission.
