Scientific paper

We present an analysis of the hot interstellar medium in the interacting pair of galaxies NGC 4485 and NGC 4490. Using the co-added 100 ks data from Chandra ACIS-S we investigate the properties of the diffuse X-ray emission from these galaxies - the high angular resolution of Chandra enables us to remove discrete sources and perform spatially resolved spectroscopy for the starburst regions and associated outflows, allowing us to look at how the physical properties of the hot interstellar medium such as temperature, hydrogen column density and metal abundances vary throughout these galaxies.
