The connection of X-ray tails and HI tails of late-type cluster galaxies

Xray tails of latetype cluster galaxies were only detected recently withChandra and XMM. Detailed studies of these systems allow us to better understandrampressure stripping, galaxy transformation in clusters, mixing of thestripped cold ISM with the hot ICM, r^ant microphysics and intracluster SF.However, Xray tails are rare in blind searches, often submerged in strongcluster background. We propose a targeted search for Xray tails for sixlatetype galaxies with known HI tails in the Virgo cluster. The combination ofVirgo.s proximity, the low cluster background around these galaxies and XMM.spower in the soft Xray band will put strong constraints on the properties ofXray tails even if none are detected, which will also be compared with our simulations. truncated!, Please see actual data for full text [truncated!, Please see actual data for full text]
