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).…
Investigating the clumpy star formation in an interacting dwarf irregular galaxy
Augusto E. Lassen, Ana L. Chies-Santos, Rogerio Riffel +9
Clumpy morphologies are more frequent in distant and low-mass star-forming galaxies. Therefore the less numerous nearby galaxies presenting kpc-sized clumps represent unique labora…
Unveiling Multiple Physical Processes on a Cluster Galaxy at z=0.3 Using JWST
Peter J. Watson, Benedetta Vulcani, Ariel Werle +5
We present a study of a previously identified candidate jellyfish galaxy in the Abell 2744 cluster, F0083, which showed faint signs of a tidal interaction in archival imaging. We u…
What goes around comes around: the fate of stars in stripped tails of gas
Nina Akerman, Stephanie Tonnesen, Bianca M. Poggianti +5
We conduct high-resolution wind-tunnel simulations to study in-situ star formation in the stripped tails of two massive () galaxies undergoing time-ev…
Stripped and Enriched: The Role of Ram-Pressure in Shaping Chemical Enrichment of Galaxies at Intermediate Redshift
Amir H. Khoram, Bianca Poggianti, Alessia Moretti +11
The chemical evolution of galaxies is shaped by their star formation histories and the exchange of gas with their environments. Metallicity provides key insights into these process…
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…
