Abstract

We analyse archival XMM-Newton observations of the massive galaxy group NGC 4839 falling into the Coma cluster core, which reveal a complex morphology for the merger. By comparing high quality X-ray maps of the merging subcluster with SPH simulations, we propose an infall scenario which qualitatively reproduces the observed structure of the NGC 4839 tail.
