Study of dependence of ram pressure stripping on the orbital parameters of the galaxies

Abstract
Comprehensive observations of galaxy clusters suggest that gas deficiency in the galaxies could be due to ram pressure stripping due to the high-pressure intra-cluster medium acting on the galactic discs. The presence of gas in galaxies is essential for star formation. The net force due to ram pressure is dependent on the ambient medium and the orbit followed by the galaxy as it moves past the cluster medium. The current work deals with the effect of non-radial orbits of galaxies and the inclination of the disc plane of galaxies with the orbital plane on the mass of gas removed due to ram pressure. This gives a realistic approach to understanding the process of ram pressure stripping. The orbital parameters are extracted from EAGLE simulation data set along with the mass distribution of the galaxies. The analytical model proposed by Singh et. al. (2019) is modified appropriately to include the effect of the inclination angle. The non-radial orbits and infalling galaxies not being face-on decrease the amount of gas removed. Moreover, the inclination angle has a pronounced effect on the stripping of gas in low-mass galaxies as compared to high-mass galaxies with similar inclinations. The results show that the efficiency of the ram pressure stripping can be much lower in some cases, and hence gas in infalling galaxies can survive for much longer than expected from a simple analysis.
