Scientific paper

We propose joint Chandra/XMM observations of two powerful FRII radio galaxies at the centers of the two nearby Abell clusters 1836 and 578. The relevance of the proposed research comes from the fact that, on one hand, heating of clusters by AGN requires large jet powers (appropriate for FRII galaxies), while on the other hand, the majority of the currently studied cases of cD-hosted radio-loud AGN are in fact low-power FR I sources. As the two targets are the only FR II radio galaxies known at the centers of local (z<0.25) Abell clusters, the proposed observations will enable us for investigating the role of powerful jets in cluster heating, by constraining the source energetics and resolving various X-ray features within and outside the radio structures embedded in the clusters.
