Scientific paper

The vigorously star forming galaxy NGC 4911 provides a spectacular example of a luminous spiral on its first passage through the hot intracluster medium of the Coma cluster. ACIS-I imaging of NGC 4911 and its environs will complement HST Cycle 8 WFPC2 imaging and reveal the role of the X-ray gas in driving star formation and generating tidal debris. To further explore this connection, we request 4 orbits of HST/WFPC2 H-alpha imaging. The ACIS-I image will also contain the giant spiral NGC 4921, another X-ray source interacting with the intracluster medium. In addition, the ACIS-I image will provide deep, high resolution look at the Coma intracluster medium over a wide range of X-ray surface brightness.
