Scientific paper

The stripping of the ISM of spiral galaxies falling into a galaxy cluster is one of the most interesting environmental effects in galaxy evolution. In the nearby Virgo cluster we may be able to observe this process in detail. From 21 cm data and from ROSAT HRI X-ray observations there is strong evidence that the spiral galaxy NGC 4501 is currently stripped from its interstellar gas. CHANDRA is ideally suited to study this effect by high spatial resolution imaging and spectroscopy. Different scenarios as e.g. interaction induced star formation, or the mixing of warm ISM with the hot cluster ICM predict distinct spectral signatures that can observed. In addition we will obtain information on the Sy2 nuclues and possible on SN1999cl in this galaxy.
