A 85 kpc Hα tail behind 2MASX J11443212+2006238 in A1367

2017 
We report the detection of an H α 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 α observations carried out with the Subaru telescope. However, lying at the border of the Subaru field, the extended H α tail was cut out, preventing the determination of its full extent. We fully map this extent here, albeit the shallower exposure.
