Scientific paper

We propose Chandra ACIS-I observations of the "tail" and "head" of M86, a galaxy that is traversing the Virgo cluster with supersonic velocity. The galaxy shows a long tail for which we wish to improve the spectral data by increasing the observing time. In addition, we are searching for a leading shock, either through a surface brightness discontinuity or shocked thermal component in the spectrum. We propose a second pointing at the leading shock region (toward M87) where the ROSAT observation suggests the presence of a sharp feature.
