Description
  • For the first time, we reveal large amounts of cold molecular gas in a ram-pressure-stripped tail, out to a large %22intracluster%22 distance from the galaxy. With the Actama Pathfinder EXperiment (APEX) telescope, we have detected (CO)-C-12(2-1) emission corresponding to more than 10(9) M-circle dot of H-2 in three H alpha bright regions along the tail of the Norma cluster galaxy ESO 137-001, out to a projected distance of 40 kpc from the disk. ESO 137-001 has an 80 kpc long and bright X-ray tail associated with a shorter (40 kpc) and broader tail of numerous star forming H II regions. The amount of similar to 1.5 x 10(8) M-circle dot of H-2 found in the most distant region is similar to molecular masses of tidal dwarf galaxies, though the standard Galactic CO-to-H-2 factor could overestimate the H-2 content. Along the tail, we find the amount of molecular gas to drop, while masses of the X-ray-emitting and diffuse ionized components stay roughly constant. Moreover, the amounts of hot and cold gas are large and similar, and together nearly account for the missing gas from the disk. We find a very low SFE (tau(dep) > 10(10) yr) in the stripped gas in ESO 137-001 and suggest that this is due to a low average gas density in the tail, or turbulent heating of the interstellar medium that is induced by a ram pressure shock. The unprecedented bulk of observed H-2 in the ESO 137-001 tail suggests that some stripped gas may survive ram pressure stripping in the molecular phase.
