An HI+radio continuum study of local cluster galaxies: Intercepting the early stages of environmental processing with MeerKAT
Alessandro Ignesti, Paolo Serra, Alessandro Bianchetti +14
The study uses MeerKAT HI 21 cm and 1.4 GHz radio continuum data to examine galaxies in three nearby clusters, revealing that early-stage environmental processing boosts star forma…
With arms wide open: a VLT/MUSE view of the mechanisms driving unwinding spiral arms in cluster galaxies
Augusto E. Lassen, Benedetta Vulcani, Jacopo Fritz +13
The environmental mechanisms driving unwinding spiral arms in cluster galaxies remain debated. While earlier studies attributed it mainly to gravitational interactions, recent work…
Molecular gas and star formation in GASP jellyfish galaxies
A. Moretti, R. Paladino, C. Bacchini +13
Several studies have reported a nearly linear correlation between the molecular gas and star formation rate surface density, the so-called Kennicutt-Schmidt (KS) law. We aim to ret…
The supersonic nature of jellyfish galaxies
Alessandro Ignesti, Francesca Loi, Antonino Marasco +20
All gas-rich galaxies in cluster environments are expected to experience ram-pressure stripping from the intra-cluster medium. However, only a fraction of these develop ongoing sta…
Mechanisms Affecting Galaxies Nearby and Environmental Trends (MAGNET)
Benedetta Vulcani, Gabriella De Lucia, Daria Zakharova +28
[ABRIDGED] Galaxy evolution is shaped by internal and external mechanisms that regulate the baryon cycle and star formation activity. We present a theoretical framework based on th…
Spatially resolved PAH emission and stellar ages in ram pressure stripped clumps at
Pietro Benotto, Benedetta Vulcani, Peter J. Watson +8
Ram pressure stripping (RPS) plays a crucial role in shaping galaxy evolution in dense environments, yet its impact on the molecular and dusty phases of the interstellar medium rem…
