Title: Multi-wavelength Probe of Galaxy-Hot Plasma Interaction in Rich Clusters of Galaxies

Abstract:
Galaxy clusters form as gigantic clumps of dark matter, and their associated 
galaxies are pulled together by gravity. The intracluster field is not empty, 
in fact, most detected baryons are in form of diffuse gas filling the field, 
the "intracluster medium" (ICM, temperature~1e7-1e8 K), which emits mostly 
in X-ray. The cluster member galaxies move randomly through the ICM with 
transonic speeds.

In nearby clusters of galaxies, the stellar component is spatially much more 
concentrated than the ICM, while metals in the ICM distribute more extended 
than the stars which have produced them. To explain these puzzling fact, 
Makishima et al. (2001) proposed that "galaxies used to have a much extended 
distribution, but they have gradually fallen, by interacting with the ambient 
hot plasmas, to cluster centre over the Hubble time".
By studying the optical and X-ray properties of 34 clusters, we detected clear 
evolution in galaxy light versus ICM mass ratio, so that the stellar component 
has indeed become more concentrated than the ICM from z=0.9 to 0.1. 
This proves the "galaxy infall" scenario. During infall the metal in interstellar 
medium might be transported to the ICM by, e.g., ram pressure stripping.

To explore the nature of galaxy-ICM interaction, we focus on the ram pressure 
strippings in the Virgo Cluster/M86 group. At least two tails of stripped galactic 
gas were discovered near the M86 region; one behind NGC 4388  emitting in Halpha 
and HI, and the other between NGC 4438 and M86 mostly in Halpha. By analysing the 
XMM-Newton and Chandra data, we detected X-ray counterpart of both tails. Hot gas 
associated with the tails has a temperature of 0.8 keV, and a density of >1e-3 
cm^{-3}. This indicates that the stripped galactic gas has been evaporated to 
some extent. By analysing Subaru FOCAS data, we identified star forming regions 
associated with the NGC 4388 tail, which implies that cooling also plays a role 
in such interactions. Furthermore we detected evidence of ICM metal enrichment 
by such ram pressure stripping.
