Scientific paper

The 40 ksec CHANDRA ACIS-S observation of A1367 reveals luminous X-ray coronae in three galaxies (NGC 3842, NGC 3837, and UGC 6697) belonging to this dynamically young cluster. We propose a follow-up 50 ksec ACIS-S observation centered at those galaxies. The superior angular resolution of CHANDRA will allow us to study the physical properties of the interstellar medium and its interaction with the cluster gas. The implications of this observation will be very important for understanding the role of heat conduction and magnetic field in galaxy clusters. The proposed investigations are not possible with the existing data because the galaxies are at the off-axis angle over 14 arcmin.
