Scientific paper

Previous x-ray observations of SQ have shown that its emission is very complex, and suggest that a substantial fraction is most likely caused by the interaction between group members. With this ACIS-S-BI observation, we aim at a good morphological study of SQ, which extends at determining whether a truly diffuse component is present, and at a reliable determination of the spectral characteristics of some of its components, to gain a proper understanding on the nature of each component. This has strong implications for our understanding 1) of the physics of high velocity galaxy collisions (both old and new) and 2) of the evolutionary history and current state of SQ that may be relevant for the entire class of S-dominated groups.
