Scientific paper

We will observe the cluster pair A2061-A2067, both of which show evidence for merger activity within and potentially between them. A previously detected shock in A2061 will be confirmed/resolved or found to be inverse Compton emission associated with a coincident radio relic from which the cluster magnetic field can be derived. The nature of a 'Plume' of emission extending from A2061 toward A2067 will be found to be either the result of an interaction between the two clusters or an infalling subcluster, which may be the cause of the shock. Further evidence for shocks will be investigated using temperature maps across both clusters, which have bimodal galaxy distributions. We will also probe the interaction between the potentially distinct subclusters of A2067.
