MAPPING OF THE NORTH-WEST REGION IN THE VIRGO CLUSTER OF GALAXIES: A PROJECT


ABSTRACT

This project has 3 main sciences: 1) Direct observation of the interaction process between the gas ejected from galaxies and the hot intracluster medium, by observing a wide cluster region surrounding early-type galaxies, 2) Study of the past history of the gas ejection process from galaxies by tracing the ejected gas in the cluster space through information about gas temperature and metal abundance, and 3) Detailed study on the structure and evolution of the Virgo cluster of galaxies which is known to have an unusually large depth (about 15 Mpc).
