Abstract
We present the results of the KVN observations of central galaxies in cool-core and non cool-core clusters. The goal is to study how cooling environments affect the AGN activities in the core where their host galaxies are embedded. From the HIghest FLUx Galaxy Cluster Sample (HIFLUGCS), we have selected 19 radio bright AGNs located in the center of clusters with various cooling timescale. In our pilot study, we have obtained 22 and 43 GHz fluxes and morphologies of the sample using the Korean VLBI network. We find that 22/43 GHz fluxes do not strongly depend on the presence of a cool gas flow. However, an intriguing fact is that most AGNs in the cool-core clusters show the hint of a pc-scale jet component while the ones in the non cool-core clusters do not. Based on these results, we discuss the role of cooling flows in the central cluster AGNs and their co-evolution.
