Distinguishing ram pressure from gravitational interactions: Applying the Size-Shape Difference method to real galaxies
Augusto E. Lassen, Rory Smith, Benedetta Vulcani +12
In dense environments, mechanisms like ram pressure stripping (RPS) and gravitational interactions can induce similar morphological features in galaxies, distinguishable only throu…
Star formation at different stages of ram-pressure stripping as observed through far-ultraviolet imaging of 13 GASP galaxies
Koshy George, B. M. Poggianti, B. Vulcani +12
Galaxies undergoing ram-pressure stripping develop gaseous tails that can extend several kiloparsecs outside the galaxy disc. We used far-ultraviolet and H imaging from the GASP…
Galaxies at the edges: a complete census of MACS J0416.1-2403 cluster
Rossella Ragusa, Maurizio D'Addona, Amata Mercurio +20
Numerous studies have established that the environment influences the physical properties of a galaxy. While gas inflows supply the fuel for SF, high density and temperature condit…
The MUSE view of ram pressure stripped galaxies in clusters: the GASP sample
Bianca M. Poggianti, Benedetta Vulcani, Neven Tomicic +14
We present the full sample of 76 galaxies in 39 galaxy cluster fields at z=0.04-0.07 observed with VLT/MUSE by the GASP survey. Most of them (64) were observed as possible ram pres…
SYMPHANY- SYnergy of Molecular PHase And Neutral hYdrogen in galaxies in A2626
Tirna Deb, Garrett K. Keating, Nikki Zabel +9
We present an analysis of the molecular and atomic gas properties of 10 spatially resolved galaxies in the A2626 cluster (z = 0.055), observed as part of the SYMPHANY project. Usin…
The interplay between Active Galactic Nuclei and Ram-pressure stripping: spatially resolved gas-phase abundances of stripped and undisturbed galaxies
Giorgia Peluso, Benedetta Vulcani, Mario Radovich +11
The gas-phase oxygen abundance of the circumnuclear regions around supermassive black holes (SMBH) has been claimed to be affected by the presence of an Active Galactic Nucleus (AG…
