Extraplanar gas and magnetic fields in the cluster spiral galaxy NGC 4569
Abstract
The Virgo Cluster spiral NGC 4569 is known for its compact starburst in the core and unusual outflow of Hα emitting gas perpendicular to the galaxy disk. Recent radio polarimetric observations with the Effelsberg telescope reveal huge magnetized outflows. Preliminary results of our XMM-Newton observations uncover not only hot gas in the disk but also an extensive X-ray envelope around it. We investigate the possibility of starburst-induced galactic outflows in various gas phases and cluster influence on the galaxy evolution.
