| 英文摘要 | We present the analysis of a deep Chandra observation of a similar to 2L(*) late-type galaxy, ESO 137-002, in the closest rich cluster A3627. The Chandra data reveal a long (greater than or similar to 40 kpc) and narrow tail with a nearly constant width (similar to 3 kpc) to the southeast of the galaxy, and a leading edge similar to 1.5 kpc from the galaxy center on the upstream side of the tail. The tail is most likely caused by the nearly edge-on stripping of ESO 137-002's interstellar medium (ISM) by ram pressure, compared to the nearly face-on stripping of ESO 137-001 discussed in our previous work. Spectral analysis of individual regions along the tail shows that the gas throughout it has a rather constant temperature, similar to 1 keV, very close to the temperature of the tails of ESO 137-001, if the same atomic database is used. The derived gas abundance is low (similar to 0.2 solar with the single-kT model), an indication of the multiphase nature of the gas in the tail. The mass of the X-ray tail is only a small fraction (<5%) of the initial ISM mass of the galaxy, suggesting that the stripping is most likely at an early stage. However, with any of the single-kT, double-kT, and multi-kT models we tried, the tail is always "over-pressured" relative to the surrounding intracluster medium (ICM), which could be due to the uncertainties in the abundance, thermal versus non-thermal X-ray emission, or magnetic support in the ICM. The H alpha data from the Southern Observatory for Astrophysical Research show a similar to 21 kpc tail spatially coincident with the X-ray tail, as well as a secondary tail (similar to 12 kpc long) to the east of the main tail diverging at an angle of similar to 23 degrees and starting at a distance of similar to 7.5 kpc from the nucleus. At the position of the secondary H alpha tail, the X-ray emission is also enhanced at the similar to 2 sigma level. We compare the tails of ESO 137-001 and ESO 137-002, and also compare the tails to simulations. Both the similarities and differences of the tails pose challenges to the simulations. Several implications are briefly discussed. |
