Scientific paper

We propose two 105 ks XMM observations of an off-center region in the Coma cluster to study X-ray emission from normal galaxies and to construct a galaxy X-ray Luminosity Function (XLF). We have demonstrated the feasibility of studying galaxies in Coma during a Chandra Cycle 5 pilot program (60 ks) in this same area. The region has an optical LF measured down to dwarf galaxy limits; the XMM XLF will help us constrain the possible suppression of X-ray emission due to ICM ram pressure in this field. We will also study the evolution of X-ray emission from galaxies using the well-determined SF histories of galaxies in this region (thanks to the superb multiwavelength data available in this field , i.e., GALEX, Spitzer, SDSS).
