X-ray detection of hot intergalactic gas in small groups of galaxies.
Abstract
With long observations using the IPC of the Einstein X-ray Observatory the authors have detected extended X-ray emission from hot gas in the two groups of galaxies, around NGC 3607 and NGC 5846. Both galaxies are the dominant galaxies in small groups. The presence of the gas around NGC 5846 can be understood with the theory of galactic winds and cooling flows.
