TL;DR
This paper reports the discovery and mapping of an 85 kpc Halpha tail behind a galaxy in Abell 1367, revealing extended gas features indicative of galaxy interactions or stripping.
Contribution
It provides the first full mapping of the Halpha tail behind 2MASX J11443212+2006238, expanding understanding of galaxy gas tails in cluster environments.
Findings
Detected an 85 kpc Halpha tail behind the galaxy.
Mapped the full extent of the Halpha tail.
Indicates ongoing gas stripping in the galaxy.
Abstract
We report the detection of an Halpha trail of 85 kpc projected length behind galaxy 2MASX J11443212+2006238 in the nearby cluster of galaxies Abell 1367. This galaxy was discovered to possess an extended component in earlier, deeper H observations carried out with the Subaru telescope. However, lying at the border of the Subaru field, the extended Halpha tail was cut out, preventing the determination of its full extent. We fully map this extent here, albeit the shallower exposure.
