Scientific paper

We propose ACIS-S observations of galaxies that appear to be present epoch analogs to the blue galaxies in distant clusters. We propose to study NGC4438, the most disrupted spiral in Virgo and NGC1427A, an irregular galaxy moving through Fornax at supersonic speed. The disruption of these galaxies is attributed to interactions in their cluster environments. With Chandra's spatial resolution, we will determine the distribution of the hot interstellar medium, regions of star formation, and for NGC4438, the distribution of galactic sources and the interaction of hot gas with the radio source. Understanding galaxy-galaxy and galaxy-ICM interactions in these galaxies will provide a better understanding of the environmental processes that transform blue galaxies to sedate elliptical and SO's.
