Scientific paper

The detailed comparison between observations and simulations of ram pressure stripped spiral galaxies in the Virgo cluster has led to a three dimensional view of the galaxy orbits within the hot intracluster medium. The 3D velocities and Mach numbers derived from these simulations can be used to derive simple Mach cone geometries. We see indications of these Mach cones in the large-scale X-ray emission of existing XMM-Newton data. However, the data are not deep enough to establish a clear cone structure. Therefore, we propose high sensitivity X-ray observations of selected Virgo Cluster spiral galaxies.
