We present a study of the X-ray emission from the nuclei of galaxies observed in the core of the Perseus cluster in a deep exposure with Chandra . Point sources are found coincident with the nuclei of 13 early-type galaxies , as well as the central galaxy NGC 1275 . This corresponds to all galaxies brighter than M _ { B } = -18 in the Chandra field . All of these sources have a steep power-law spectral component and four have an additional thermal component . The unabsorbed power-law luminosities in the 0.5–7.0 keV band range from 8 \times 10 ^ { 38 } – 5 \times 10 ^ { 40 } \hbox { $ \thinspace erg \thinspace s ^ { -1 } $ } . We find no simple correlations between the K band luminosity , or the FUV and NUV AB magnitudes of these galaxies and their X-ray properties . We have estimated the black hole masses of the nuclei using the K band M _ { BH } -L _ { K bol } relation and again find no correlation between black hole mass and the X-ray luminosity . Bondi accretion onto the black holes in the galaxies with mini-haloes should make them much more luminous than observed .
