We present a new study of the Virgo Cluster galaxies M86, M84, NGC 4338, andNGC 4438 using a mosaic of five separate pointings with XMM-Newton. Ourobservations allow for robust measurements of the temperature and metallicitystructure of each galaxy along with the entire ~ 1 degree region between thesegalaxies. When combined with multiwavelength observations, the data suggestthat all four of these galaxies are undergoing ram pressure stripping by theIntracluster Medium (ICM). The manner in which the stripped gas trailing thegalaxies interacts with the ICM, however, is observably distinct. Consistentwith previous observations, M86 is observed to have a long tail of ~ 1 keV gastrailing to the north-west for distances of ~ 100-150 kpc. However, a new siteof ~ 0.6 keV thermal emission is observed to span to the east of M86 in thedirection of the disturbed spiral galaxy NGC 4438. This region is spatiallycoincident with filaments of H-alpha emission, likely originating in a recentcollision between the two galaxies. We also resolve the thermodynamic structureof stripped ~ 0.6 keV gas to the south of M84, suggesting that this galaxy isundergoing both AGN feedback and ram pressure stripping simultaneously. Thesefour sites of stripped X-ray gas demonstrate that the nature of ram pressurestripping can vary significantly from site to site.
