We investigate the effect of ram-pressure from intracluster medium on stripping H i gas in galaxies a massive, relaxed, X-ray bright, galaxy cluster at z = 0.2 Blind Ultra Deep Environmental Survey (BUDHIES). use cosmological simulations, and velocity versus position phase-space diagrams to infer orbital histories galaxies. In particular, we embed simple analytical description simulations identify regions where are more likely have been sufficiently stripped their fall below detection limit...
Galaxies that are being stripped of their gas can sometimes be recognized from optical appearance. Extreme examples galaxies the so-called ``jellyfish galaxies'', exhibit tentacles debris material with a characteristic jellyfish morphology. We have conducted first systematic search for at low-z (z=0.04-0.07) in different environments, selecting varying degrees morphological evidence stripping. visually inspected B and V-band images identified 344 candidates 71 galaxy clusters...
It is well known that galaxies falling into clusters can experience gas stripping due to ram-pressure by the intra-cluster medium (ICM). The most spectacular examples are with extended tails of optically-bright stripped material as "jellyfish". We use first large homogeneous compilation jellyfish in from WINGS and OmegaWINGS surveys, follow-up MUSE observations GASP programme investigate orbital histories reconstruct their history through position vs. velocity phase- space diagrams....

Our current understanding of galaxy evolution still has many uncertainties associated with the details accretion, processing, and removal gas across cosmic time. The next generation radio telescopes will image neutral hydrogen (HI) in galaxies over large volumes at high redshifts, which provide key insights into these processes. We are conducting COSMOS HI Large Extragalactic Survey (CHILES) Karl G. Jansky Very Array, is first survey to simultaneously observe from z=0 z~0.5. Here, we report...
Based on MUSE data from the GASP survey, we study Halpha-emitting extraplanar tails of 16 cluster galaxies at z~0.05 undergoing ram pressure stripping. We demonstrate that dominating ionization mechanism this gas (between 64% and 94% Halpha emission in depending diagnostic diagram used) is photoionization by young massive stars due to ongoing star formation (SF) taking place stripped tails. This SF occurs dynamically quite cold HII clumps with a median velocity dispersion sigma = 27 km s^-1....
We investigate the orbital histories of Virgo galaxies at various stages HI gas stripping. In particular, we compare location with different morphology in phase space. This method is a great tool for tracing stripping as they fall into cluster. Most early stage are found first infall region Virgo, while undergoing active mostly appear to be falling or moving out near cluster core time. Galaxies severely stripped, yet symmetric, disks one two locations. Some deep inside cluster, but others...
In a hierarchical Universe clusters grow via the accretion of galaxies from field, groups and even other clusters. As this happens, can lose their gas reservoirs different mechanisms, eventually quenching star-formation. We explore diverse environmental histories through multi-wavelength study combined effect ram-pressure stripping group "processing" in Abell 963, massive growing cluster at $z=0.2$ Blind Ultra Deep HI Environmental Survey (BUDHIES). incorporate hundreds new optical redshifts...
Abstract Within the GASP survey, aimed at studying effect of ram pressure stripping on star formation quenching in cluster galaxies, we analyze here ALMA observations jellyfish galaxy JW100. We find an unexpected large amount molecular gas (∼2.5 × 10 <?CDATA ${M}_{\odot }$?> ), 30% which is located stripped tail out to ∼35 kpc from center. The overall kinematics similar one shown by ionized gas, but for clear signatures double components along direction detected only 2 disk. line ratio r 21...
Ram-pressure stripping by the intracluster medium (ICM) is one of most advocated mechanisms that affect properties cluster galaxies. A recent study based on a small sample has found many galaxies showing strong signatures ram-pressure also possess an active galactic nucleus (AGN), suggesting possible correlation between two phenomena. This result not been confirmed subsequent study. Building upon previous findings, here we combine MUSE observations conducted within GASP program and general...
This paper presents a spatially-resolved kinematic study of the jellyfish galaxy JO201, one most spectacular cases ram-pressure stripping (RPS) in GASP (GAs Stripping Phenomena Galaxies with MUSE) survey. By studying environment we find that it is moving through dense intra-cluster medium Abell 85 at supersonic speeds along our line sight, and likely accompanied by small group galaxies. Given density galaxy's mass, projected position velocity within cluster, estimate JO201 must so far have...
Using the latest cosmological hydrodynamic N-body simulations of groups and clusters, we study how location in phase-space coordinates at $z$$=$$0$ can provide information on environmental effects acting clusters. We confirm results previous authors showing that galaxies tend to follow a typical path as they settle into cluster potential. As such, different regions be associated with times since first infalling cluster. However, addition, see clear trend between total mass loss due tides,...
The so-called jellyfish galaxies are objects exhibiting disturbed morphology, mostly in the form of tails gas stripped from main body galaxy. Several works have strongly suggested ram pressure stripping to be mechanism driving this phenomenon. Here, we focus on one these objects, drawn a sample optically selected galaxies, and use it validate SINOPSIS, spectral fitting code that will used for analysis GASP (GAs Stripping Phenomena with MUSE) survey, study spatial distribution physical...

The advent of Integral Field Spectroscopy has recently allowed study a significant sample stripped the cluster environment z$\sim 0.05$, through GAs Stripping Phenomena with MUSE (GASP) survey. However, optical spectroscopy can only trace ionized gas component H$_{\alpha}$ emission that be spatially resolved on kpc scale this redshift. complex interplay between various phases...

Theoretical predictions have so far led contradictory conclusions about whether can enhance star formation gas disks tails or not until now a statistically significant observed sample was lacking. We find occupy upper envelope...
