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…

The history of star-forming regions in the tails of 6 GASP jellyfish galaxies observed with the Hubble Space Telescope
A. Werle, E. Giunchi, B. Poggianti +12
Using images collected with the WFC3 camera on board of the Hubble Space Telescope, we detect stellar clumps in continuum-subtracted and ultraviolet (F275W filter), such clump…
