TLDR
In this paper, a strong linear correlation between the X-ray surface brightness and the H$\alpha$ surface brightness of the diffuse gas in the RPS tails at 10 kpc scales was found.Abstract:
The impact of ram pressure stripping (RPS) on galaxy evolution has been studied for over forty years. Recent multi-wavelength data have revealed many examples of galaxies undergoing RPS, often accompanied with multi-phase tails. As energy transfer in the multi-phase medium is an outstanding question in astrophysics, RPS galaxies are great objects to study. Despite the recent burst of observational evidence, the relationship between gas in different phases in the RPS tails is poorly known. Here we report, for the first time, a strong linear correlation between the X-ray surface brightness (SB$_{\rm X}$) and the H$\alpha$ surface brightness (SB$_{\rm H\alpha}$) of the diffuse gas in the RPS tails at $\sim$ 10 kpc scales, as SB$_{\rm X}$/SB$_{\rm H\alpha} \sim$ 3.6. This discovery supports the mixing of the stripped interstellar medium (ISM) with the hot intracluster medium (ICM) as the origin of the multi-phase RPS tails. The established relation in stripped tails, also in comparison with the likely similar correlation in similar environments like X-ray cool cores and galactic winds, provides an important test for models of energy transfer in the multi-phase gas. It also indicates the importance of the H$\alpha$ data for our understanding of the ICM clumping and turbulence.read more

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented the discovery of the first and still the only known isolated cloud (or orphan cloud, OC) detected in both X-rays and H$\alpha$ in the nearby cluster Abell 1367.

TL;DR: The Blue Infalling Group (BIG) is a star-bursting compact group with a long H$\alpha$ trail behind it as mentioned in this paper, and the total hot gas mass in the tail is estimated to be approximately 7\times 10^{10} ) with an X-ray bolometric luminosity of 3.8\times 1.8 ǫ s$ −1.

Velocity structure functions in multiphase turbulence: interpreting kinematics of H$\alpha$ filaments in cool core clusters
TL;DR: In this paper, high-resolution simulations of homogeneous isotropic subsonic turbulence, without radiative cooling, were conducted and the second-order velocity structure functions of the hot and cold phases were analyzed.

TL;DR: In this paper, a point-to-point analysis revealed that the X-ray emission of the jellyfish galaxy JO201 closely follows the ISM distribution, whereas the ionisation triggered by this warm plasma would be able to reproduce the [OI]/H$\alpha$ excess in the optical spectrum.
