Collisional KE should be significant heating source for
M86 ISM• Kinetic energy of gas stripped from
NGC 4438 by gaseous halo of M86 1/2Mv2 = 1/2 (5x109Msun)(1000 km/s)2 =
5x1058 erg
compare to:• Thermal energy of M86 ISM nkTV = (10-3 cm-3)(0.8 keV)(4/3)(73 kpc)3
= 6x1058 erg

• H evidence for a previously unknown high-velocity collision between M86 and highly disturbed spiral NGC 4438 (during subcluster merger)
• HI stripped from NGC 4438 by ram pressure during passage through M86 ISM leaves debris trail of gas heated by ram pressure drag /collisional excitation/shocks/thermal conduction (?) from hot ISM of M86, producing H filaments

Relevant for current major problem in galaxy formation/evolution: how to prevent continued star formation and stellar growth of largest galaxies
• Large collision KE~1059 erg from stripped gas should contribute to heating of M86 ISM, inhibiting “cooling flow”, star formation and BH fueling
• M86 has very weak radio source, so AGN heating of ISM unlikely at present
• Although extreme case, ISM easy to study in M86: should teach us about general importance of gravitational ISM heating in ellipticals

Implication for EVLA
• Some galaxies/clusters have very large range of velocities, which cannot be observed with VLA correlator
• But CAN BE with EVLA correlator
