We present a systematic study of the putative hot gas corona around late-type
galaxies (LTGs) residing in the Virgo cluster, based on archival Chandra
observations. Our sample consists of 21 nearly edge-on galaxies representing a
star formation rate (SFR) range of (0.2β3Β MββΒ yrβ1) a stellar mass
(Mββ) range of (0.2β10)Γ1010Β Mββ, the majority of which
have not been explored with high-sensitivity X-ray observations so far.
Significant extraplanar diffuse X-ray (0.5-2 keV) emission is detected in only
three LTGs, which are also the three galaxies with the highest SFR. A stacking
analysis is performed for the remaining galaxies without individual detection,
dividing the whole sample into two subsets based on SFR, stellar mass, or
specific SFR. Only the high-SFR bin yields a significant detection, which has a
value of LXββΌ3Γ1038Β ergΒ sβ1 per galaxy. The stacked
extraplanar X-ray signals of the Virgo LTGs are consistent with the empirical
LXββSFR and LXββMββ relations found among highly inclined disk
galaxies in the field, but appear to be systematically lower than that of a
comparison sample of simulated cluster star-formation galaxies identified from
the Illustris-TNG100 simulation. The apparent paucity of hot gas coronae in the
sampled Virgo LTGs might be understood as the net outcome of the long-lasting
effect of ram pressure stripping exerted by the hot intra-cluster medium and
in-disk star-forming activity acting on shorter timescales. A better
understanding of the roles of environmental effects in regulating the hot gas
content of cluster galaxies invites sensitive X-ray observations for a large
galaxy sample.Comment: 18 pages, 7 figures. Accepted for publication in ApJ. Comments
