Ram pressure candidates in UNIONS

چکیده
ABSTRACT We present a search for disturbed, candidate ram pressure stripping galaxies across more than 50 spectroscopically selected SDSS groups and clusters. 48 candidates are visually identified in these systems using high-quality UNIONS imaging from the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope, covering ${\sim }6200\, \mathrm{deg^2}$ }2800\, u- r-bands, respectively. Ram found clusters spanning wide range halo mass include ?30 group regime (Mh < 1014). The observed frequency of shows substantial scatter with group/cluster mass, but on average is larger ($M_h \ge 10^{14}\, \mathrm{M_\odot }$) \lt by factor ?2. find that most commonly low-mass have enhanced star formation rates relative to star-forming field galaxies. enhancement largely independent galaxy strongest As result large survey footprint excellent image quality UNIONS, we able identify disturbed galaxies, potentially affected stripping, host environment.

Ram Pressure Stripping in Clusters and Groups
Ram pressure stripping is an important process in the evolution of both dwarf galaxies and large spirals. Large spirals are severely stripped in rich clusters and may be mildly stripped in groups. Dwarf galaxies can be severely stripped in both clusters and groups. A model is developed that describes the stripping of a satellite galaxy’s outer H i disk and hot galactic halo. The model can be ap...
متن کاملWakes of ram pressure stripped disc galaxies
Spiral galaxies that move through the intracluster medium lose a substantial amount of their gas discs due to ram pressure stripping. The recent observations of NGC 4388 by Oosterloo & van Gorkom (2005) reveal a tail of stripped gas of ∼ 100 kpc behind the source galaxy. We present first 3D hydrodynamical simulations of the evolution of such ram pressure stripped tails. We find that if the ICM ...
متن کاملRam pressure histories of cluster galaxies
Ram pressure stripping can remove significant amounts of gas from galaxies that orbit in clusters and massive groups, and thus has a large impact on the evolution of cluster galaxies. In this paper, we reconstruct the present-day distribution of rampressure, and the ram pressure histories of cluster galaxies. To this aim, we combine the Millennium Simulation and an associated semi-analytic mode...
متن کاملRam Pressure Stripping in Groups: Comparing Theory and Observations
Ram pressure stripping may be one of the dominant mechanisms driving the evolution of galaxies in groups and clusters. In this paper, models of ram pressure stripping are confronted with observations of galaxy colors and star formation rates using a group catalog drawn from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey and model predictions based on an analytical model of stripping presented in Hester (2006). A...
متن کاملRam pressure stripping in a viscous intracluster medium
In the recent literature there is circumstantial evidence that the viscosity of the intracluster medium may not be too far from the Spitzer value. In this letter, we present two-dimensional hydrodynamical simulations of ram pressure stripping of disc galaxies in a viscous intracluster medium (ICM). The values of viscosity explored range between 0.1 and 1.0 times the Spitzer value. We find that ...
