Fishing for Jellyfish Galaxies: Exploring ram-pressure stripping with crowd science
C. Bellhouse, Y. L. Jaffé, J. P. Crossett +13
Aims: We present the first results of Fishing for Jellyfish Galaxies, a pilot citizen-science project using Zooniverse to identify galaxies undergoing ram-pressure stripping (RPS).…
Caught in the web: galaxy mergers along cosmic filaments
Carolina Dulcien, Yara L. Jaffe, Jacob P. Crossett +31
Galaxy clusters grow through the accretion of galaxies from groups, filaments, and other clusters. During this process, galaxies may undergo pre-processing in lower-density environ…
Stellar Bars in Jellyfish Galaxies: Statistical Insights into the Combined Role of Bars and Environment
Osbaldo Sánchez-GarcÃa, Bernardo Cervantes Sodi, Jacopo Fritz +3
Recent observational studies suggest that the interplay between internal and environmental mechanisms, in particular, the combined action of stellar bars and ram pressure stripping…
Targeting cluster galaxies for the 4MOST CHANCES Low-z sub-survey with photometric redshifts
Hugo Méndez-Hernández, Ciria Lima-Dias, Antonela Monachesi +54
The evolution of galaxies is shaped by both internal processes and their external environments. Galaxy clusters and their surroundings provide ideal laboratories to study these eff…
The XXL Survey LIV. X-ray Luminosity Function and Luminosity-Mass Relation of Optically Selected Galaxy Groups
C. Wood, B. J. Maughan, J. P. Crossett +10
The overlap between the GAMA spectroscopic survey and the XXL X-ray survey was used to study the X-ray properties of optically-selected groups of galaxies. Forced X-ray aperture ph…
Identification of ram pressure stripping features in galaxies using citizen science
Jacob P. Crossett, Yara L. Jaffé, Sean L. McGee +6
Ram pressure stripped galaxies are rare cases of environmental evolution in action. However, our ability to understand these galaxies is limited by the small number of identified g…
