When this detection is compared to other multi-frequency observations across 21cm-100um, including new Arcminute Microkelvin Imager 15GHz observations, we find evidence for a relatively flat, variable core source associated with the BCG. The radio power and amplitude of variability observed in this galaxy is consistent with the cores in lower redshift BCGs in X-ray-selected clusters, and the flat mm-cm spectrum is suggestive of the BCG being a low luminosity AGN archetype. The discovery of this system could provide a basis for a long-term study of the role of low luminosity radio mode 'regulatory' feedback in massive clusters.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2018-09-05T19:24:18.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "brightest cluster galaxy", "variable millimetre-selected agn", "low luminosity radio mode regulatory", "arcminute microkelvin imager 15ghz observations", "low luminosity agn archetype" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 5, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
