New classification method for the dynamical state of galaxy clusters with a Gaussian mixture model
Hyowon Kim, Marco Canducci, Rory Smith +5
Galaxy clusters are the largest gravitationally bound systems, and they continue their growth through mergers in a hierarchical ÎCDM Universe. Therefore, we can describe the merge…
The supersonic nature of jellyfish galaxies
Alessandro Ignesti, Francesca Loi, Antonino Marasco +20
All gas-rich galaxies in cluster environments are expected to experience ram-pressure stripping from the intra-cluster medium. However, only a fraction of these develop ongoing sta…
Constraining the duration of ram pressure stripping features in the optical from the direction of jellyfish galaxy tails
Vicente Salinas, Yara L. Jaffé, Rory Smith +12
Ram pressure stripping is perhaps the most efficient mechanism for removing gas and quenching galaxies in dense environments as they move through the intergalactic medium. Extreme…
The S-PLUS Fornax Project (S+FP): SExtractor detection and measurement of nearby galaxies in large photometric surveys
R. F. Haack, A. V. Smith Castelli, C. Mendes de Oliveira +11
All-sky multi-band photometric surveys represent a unique opportunity of exploring rich nearby galaxy clusters up to several virial radii, reaching the filament regions where pre-p…
