Ram pressure strip** in high-density environments

A Boselli, M Fossati, M Sun - The Astronomy and astrophysics review, 2022 - Springer
Galaxies living in rich environments are suffering different perturbations able to drastically
affect their evolution. Among these, ram pressure strip**, ie the pressure exerted by the …

ML Balogh, SL Morris, HKC Yee… - The Astrophysical …, 1999 - iopscience.iop.org
We measure spectral indexes for 1823 galaxies in the Canadian Network for Observational
Cosmology 1 (CNOC1) sample of 15 X-ray luminous clusters at 0.18< z< 0.55 to investigate …

Pre-processing of galaxies before entering a cluster

Y Fujita - Publications of the Astronomical Society of Japan, 2004 - academic.oup.com
We consider several mechanisms that possibly affect the evolution of disk galaxies in
clusters using analytical models based on a hierarchical clustering scenario. We especially …

Metal enrichment processes

S Schindler, A Diaferio - Space Science Reviews, 2008 - Springer
There are many processes that can transport gas from the galaxies to their environment and
enrich the environment in this way with metals. These metal enrichment processes have a …

On the influence of ram-pressure strip** on the star formation of simulated spiral galaxies

T Kronberger, W Kapferer, C Ferrari… - Astronomy & …, 2008 - aanda.org
Aims. We investigate the influence of ram-pressure strip** on the star formation and the
mass distribution in simulated spiral galaxies. Special emphasis is put on the question of …

Starbursts from the strong compression of galactic molecular clouds due to the high pressure of the intracluster medium

K Bekki, WJ Couch - The Astrophysical Journal, 2003 - iopscience.iop.org
We demonstrate that the high pressure of the hot intracluster medium (ICM) can trigger the
collapse of molecular clouds in a spiral galaxy, leading to a burst of star formation in the …

Pre- and post-processing of cluster galaxies out to 5 × R200: the extreme case of A2670

F Piraino-Cerda, YL Jaffé, AC Lourenço… - Monthly Notices of …, 2024 - academic.oup.com
We study galaxy interactions in the large-scale environment around A2670, a massive (M
200=) and interacting galaxy cluster at z= 0.0763. We first characterize the environment of …

Shocking tails in the major merger Abell 2744

MS Owers, WJ Couch, PEJ Nulsen… - The Astrophysical …, 2012 - iopscience.iop.org
We identify four rare" jellyfish" galaxies in Hubble Space Telescope imagery of the major
merger cluster Abell 2744. These galaxies harbor trails of star-forming knots and filaments …

A parameter space exploration of galaxy cluster mergers. I. Gas mixing and the generation of cluster entropy

JA ZuHone - The Astrophysical Journal, 2011 - iopscience.iop.org

FLASH. These are the highest resolution simulations to date of such mergers using an …

High metallicity of the X-ray gas up to the virial radius of a binary cluster of galaxies: evidence of galactic superwinds at high-redshift

Y Fujita, N Tawa, K Hayashida… - Publications of the …, 2008 - academic.oup.com
We present an analysis of a Suzaku observation of the link region between the galaxy
clusters A 399 and A 401. We obtained the metallicity of the intracluster medium (ICM) up to …
