LARGE-SCALE GAS OUTFLOWS IN THE VIRGO CLUSTER SPIRAL NGC 4569

We propose the Xray mapping of the strongly stripped Virgo Cluster spiral NGC4569 close to which ROSAT data show a large Xray emitting cloud. We found thatthis galaxy also possesses a huge (at least 20 kpc) radio halo with strongvertical magnetic fields. These features are indicative of either strong nuclearoutflows (which by itself is unusual concerning its only weakly active nucleus)or the gas outflow from the whole disk as predicted by models of activestripping via the intracluster gas. In the second case we have an uniquepossibility to study the galaxy caught in a stripping process. Our observationswill provide the key to discriminate between the mentioned hypotheses and willconstrain numerical models of the gas outflows in cluster galaxies. truncated!, Please see actual data for full text [truncated!, Please see actual data for full text]
