Galaxies undergoing ram-pressure stripping: the influence of the bulge on morphology and star formation rate

Dominik Steinhauser, Markus Haider, Wolfgang Kapferer +1

We investigate the influence of stellar bulges on the star formation and morphology of disc galaxies that suffer from ram pressure. Several tree-SPH (smoothed particle hydrodynamic…

Inhomogeneous Metal Distribution in the Intra-Cluster Medium

L. Lovisari, S. Schindler, W. Kapferer

The hot gas that fills the space between galaxies in clusters is rich in metals. In their large potential wells, galaxy clusters accumulate metals over the whole cluster history an…

Metallicity map of the galaxy cluster A3667

L. Lovisari, W. Kapferer, S. Schindler +1

We use XMM-Newton data of the merging cluster Abell 3667 to analyze its metallicity distribution. A detailed abundance map of the central 1.1x1.1 Mpc region indicates that metals a…

Velocity fields of distant galaxies with FORS2 at the VLT

Bodo L. Ziegler, Elif Kutdemir, Cristiano Da Rocha +6

We describe a method to efficiently obtain two-dimensional velocity fields of distant, faint and small, emission-line galaxies with FORS2 at the VLT. They are examined for kinemati…

Metal enrichment of the intra-cluster medium by thermally and cosmic-ray driven galactic winds

W. Kapferer, T. Kronberger, D. Breitschwerdt +6

We investigate the efficiency and time-dependence of thermally and cosmic ray driven galactic winds for the metal enrichment of the intra-cluster medium (ICM) using a new analytica…

The effect of ram pressure on the star formation, mass distribution and morphology of galaxies

W. Kapferer, C. Sluka, S. Schindler +2

We investigate the dependence of star formation and the distribution of the components of galaxies on the strength of ram pressure. Several mock observations in X-ray, H and HI…
