Scientific paper

Stripping the ISM from disk galaxies in clusters has important effects on both galaxies and the ICM, e.g., galaxy transformation, changes in star formation rates and metal enrichment of the ICM. The gaseous stripped tail also permits tests for important micro-physics. However, X-ray tails of late-type cluster galaxies are rare and we have never had a chance to study one in detail. We propose a 150 ks observation of a spectacular X-ray tail of a small starburst galaxy in the rich cluster A3627, for which a 40 kpc Halpha tail and 28 intergalactic HII regions have recently been found. The deep Chandra exposure is essential to: 1) reveal intracluster ULXs and study the XRB population in the tail, 2) understand stripping of the ISM in the strong ICM wind, and 3) constrain the ICM viscosity.
