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…
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…
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 GAS…
