Great Balls of Fire: Star Formation in Gas Clouds Accelerated by a Hot Wind
Stephanie Tonnesen, Rory Smith, Bianca Poggianti +6
Satellite galaxies undergo ram pressure stripping, in which their gas is directly removed by a hydrodynamical interaction with the surrounding host halo gas. In clusters, ram press…
How Ram Pressure Drives Radial Gas Motions in the Surviving Disk
Nina Akerman, Stephanie Tonnesen, Bianca M. Poggianti +2
Galaxy evolution can be dramatically affected by the environment, especially by the dense environment of a galaxy cluster. Recent observational studies show that massive galaxies u…
What goes around comes around: the fate of stars in stripped tails of gas
Nina Akerman, Stephanie Tonnesen, Bianca M. Poggianti +5
We conduct high-resolution wind-tunnel simulations to study in-situ star formation in the stripped tails of two massive () galaxies undergoing time-ev…
Investigating the intracluster medium viscosity using the tails of GASP jellyfish galaxies
Alessandro Ignesti, Gianfranco Brunetti, Marco Gullieuszik +13
The microphysics of the intracluster medium (ICM) in galaxy clusters is still poorly understood. Observational evidence suggests that the effective viscosity is suppressed by plasm…
The Surprising Lack of Effect from Stellar Feedback on the Gas Stripping Rate from Massive Jellyfish Galaxies
Nina Akerman, Stephanie Tonnesen, Bianca M Poggianti +5
We study the role of star formation and stellar feedback in a galaxy being ram pressure stripped on its infall into a cluster. We use hydrodynamical wind-tunnel simulations of a ma…
Ram pressure stripping in the EAGLE simulation
Andrea Kulier, Bianca Poggianti, Stephanie Tonnesen +7
Ram pressure stripping of satellite galaxies is thought to be a ubiquitous process in galaxy clusters, and a growing number of observations reveal satellites at different stages of…
