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…
Virgo Filaments VI: H clumps in the filaments around the Virgo galaxy cluster
G. Nagaraj, P. Jablonka, R. A. Finn +9
It is still not clear which environmental processes operate in filaments. Given the ubiquity of filaments and their importance in feeding clusters, a proper understanding of these…
The kinematic imprinting of environmental quenching in galaxies
Natan de IsÃdio, P. Popesso, Y. Bahé +9
We present the first systematic census of quenching mechanisms using kinematic asymmetries in a large sample of 6,700 galaxies from the MaNGA survey, providing a unified view…
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…
Clump formation in ram-pressure stripped galaxies: evidence from mass function
Eric Giunchi, Claudia Scarlata, Ariel Werle +8
The mass function (MF) of young ( Myr) stellar clumps is an indicator of the mechanism driving the collapse of the interstellar medium (ISM) into giant mo…
