Highly perturbed molecular gas in infalling cluster galaxies: the case of CGCG97-079

T. C. Scott, A. Usero, E. Brinks +4

We report on CO (J = 2 - 1) mapping with the IRAM 30-m HERA receiver array of CGCG 97-079, an irregular galaxy in the merging galaxy cluster Abell 1367 (z = 0.022). We find that $\…
