Diffuse Ly α emission around NGC 1275
Description
The discovery of a diffuse Lyα flux from NGC 1275 is reported. The emission is probably due to the optical filaments surrounding the galaxy which are due to the cooling flow of intracluster gas. The lack of any detectable 1250-1900 A stellar continuum limits the formation rate of stars more massive than 3 solar masses to less than 6 solar masses yr-1, or 2 per cent of the accretion rate.
