Scientific paper

We propose Mopra observations to search for CO emission from ESO137-001, which has a known detection of a stripped warm molecular hydrogen tail, in the closest massive cluster A3627. The galaxy also exhibits more extended X-ray and Halpha tails that are co-aligned with the warm molecular hydrogen tail. There is no known measurement of the dense molecular gas within this galaxy and its tail, and our observations will place the first constraints on the amount of cold molecular hydrogen gas associated with the warm molecular hydrogen emission in intracluster space. This will answer the questions of how molecular hydrogen exists outside ESO137-001, how much dense gas is stripped from this galaxy through ram-pressure, and how star formation proceeds in the intracluster medium. This is a companion proposal to the ATCA proposal to study the amount of HI gas in ESO137-001 and its tail (PI: M. Sun).
