2 Boston, 20 Nov 201415 years of science with Chandra Holm 124 HI in galaxies HCG 16 HI between galaxies NGC 4636: no HI in group core… Increasing Mass, tidal interactions, HI deficiency How are HI-rich, spiral dominated groups transformed into HI-poor, hot gas rich elliptical dominated systems? Is hot gas mainly accreted and gravitationally heated, as is the case in clusters? …but rich in ~1 keV hot gas Verdes-Montenegro et al. (2001) Mishra et al. (2013) Kilborn et al. (2009)

3  Only a handful of spiral-rich groups with X-ray emitting IGM are known.  Typically faint: L X ≈ few x10 41 erg s -1  All have tidally interacting galaxy populations and disturbed X-ray halos.  Is IGM formation linked to galaxy transformation? Boston, 20 Nov 201415 years of science with Chandra HCG 70 Dos Santos & Mamon (1999) HCG 16 SCG 0018-4854 Trinchieri et al (2008) Stephan’s Quintet Trinchieri et al. (2003)

4 VLA HI on DSS optical Chandra 0.5-2 keV  Hot gas detected by ROSAT and XMM but morphology uncertain  137.5 ks Chandra observation  irregular ridge of 0.3 keV gas  X-ray ridge, H I filament linking galaxies  group not yet relaxed? Boston, 20 Nov 201415 years of science with Chandra

5 Boston, 20 Nov 201415 years of science with Chandra NGC838 NGC839 VLA 1.4 GHz on DSS GMRT 610 MHz on Chandra 0.5-2 keV  2 northern spirals: Seyferts, low SFR  3 southern spirals: starbursts, SFR=7-20 M  /yr  HI and hot gas in ridge are densest around NGC 838 and NGC 839  SF has been ongoing for 4-5x10 8 yr  ~10 10 M  of hot gas ejected in that period  ~20% of IGM mass  If other group members have ejected gas at a similar rate in the past, ~40% of IGM could have come from starburst galaxies.

6 15 years of science with Chandra  900 km/s collision between infalling spiral and H I filament visible in radio, X-ray, IR  Unexpected physics in shock ridge: cooling via H 2 emission (Cluver et al. 2010)  Mass of ~0.7 keV IGM (~3x10 10 M  ) ≈ H I deficit (2x10 10 M  )  Shocked H I may make up a significant fraction of IGM Boston, 20 Nov 2014 Williams et al (2005)

7 Boston, 20 Nov 201415 years of science with Chandra HI contours on TGSS 150MHz TGSS 150 MHz contours on DSS optical  3x10 9 M  of HI in 100 kpc filament extending across NGC 5903 ( Appleton et al. 1990 )  ~60 kpc wide radio structure, ~7 Jy @150 MHz, steep spectral index α=1.5±0.08 Appleton et al (1990) Gopal-Krishna et al (2012)

8 Boston, 20 Nov 201415 years of science with Chandra  ~40 ks XMM, low-level flaring throughout  Disturbed 0.7 keV IGM correlated with HI!  Radio ridge correlated with X-ray spur.  Hot gas mass ≈ HI deficit (3x10 10 M  ) Collision shock as in Stephan’s Quintet?  No clear high-velocity intruder galaxy  collision in plane of sky? Plans: GMRT HI observations (high-resolution maps) Hα imaging (trace warm gas content) Deep Chandra pointing (155 ks) approved in cycle 16 150 MHz contours XMM 0.3-3 keV

9 1. Only a handful of spiral-rich groups with a hot IGM have been studied with Chandra and/or XMM. 2. HCG 16: demonstrates that starburst winds can inject significant quantities of hot gas into the IGM in spiral-only groups. Up to ~40% of IGM observed in this unrelaxed group may have been contributed by galaxy winds. 3. Stephan’s Quintet and NGC 5903: demonstrate that collisional shocks can contribute significantly to building IGM by directly heating H I. 1. Deeper soft X-ray surveys needed to identify more examples (eROSITA?), low-frequency radio surveys can help us find shocked systems (LOFAR?) 2. Deep Chandra follow-up necessary to study interactions in detail (to resolve wind structures, shocks, filaments, and determine the physical state of the gas) – another 15 years please! Boston, 20 Nov 201415 years of science with Chandra

10 Boston, 20 Nov 201415 years of science with Chandra HCG 16 falls on or above the L:T relation. Stephan’s Quintet and NGC5903 fall below the relation, but inside scatter of group population.
