Scientific paper

We present new X-ray and HI 21-cm data on the poor cluster of galaxies Abell 3581. The ASCA spectrum requires a low temperature, has a strong requirement for excess absorption and shows evidence for multi-temperature components. The ROSAT HRI image shows the strongly peaked emission indicative of a cooling flow. Despite the low temperature (~1.5-2.0 keV) and low luminosity (~2×1042ergs-1 in the 2-10keV band), Abell 3581 has a mass deposition rate ~80 Msolar yr-1 which is larger than found for other nearby low-luminosity objects. VLA observations in the 21-cm band set velocity width and spin temperature dependent limits on the column density of atomic hydrogen.
