Scientific paper

We propose XMM observations to study the nature of and interaction between interstellar medium and group gas in the elliptical galaxy/group NGC 1600. Temperature and abundance measurements will be used to constrain the origin and dynamics of the inter- and intra-galactic gas. In the center of NGC 1600, X-ray structures correspond with those seen in cooler gas and dust. We will determine whether thermal conduction can explain these features. NGC 1600 is the only elliptical galaxy with a large number (21) of ULX candidates. We will compare their X-ray spectra to ULX models and search for UV counterparts with the OM. We will study the origin of the long tail behind the group galaxy NGC 1603; if it is due to ram pressure, it provides a probe of the group dynamics.
