Ram-pressure feeding of supermassive black holes

DOI: 10.1038/nature23462
Abstract: When a supermassive black hole at the centre of a galaxy accretes matter, it gives rise to a highly energetic phenomenon: an active galactic nucleus. Numerous physical processes have been proposed to account for the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/202141118
Abstract: Numerous examples of ram pressure stripping in galaxy clusters are present in literature; however, substantially less work has been focused on ram pressure stripping in lower mass groups. In this work we use the LOFAR… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/mnras/staa1213
Abstract: The Coma cluster is the nearest massive ($M \gtrsim 10^{15}\,\mathrm{M_\odot}$) galaxy cluster, making it an excellent laboratory to probe the influence of the cluster environment on galaxy star formation. Here, we present a sample of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/mnras/staa3298
Abstract: We present the first study of the effect of ram-pressure "unwinding" the spiral arms of cluster galaxies. We study 11 ram-pressure stripped galaxies from GASP (GAs Stripping Phenomena in galaxies) in which, in addition to… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/mnras/stad1003
Abstract: Ram pressure stripping (RPS) is an important process to affect the evolution of cluster galaxies and their surrounding environment. We present a large MUSE mosaic for ESO 137-001 and its stripped tails, and study the detailed… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/mnras/stw3162
Abstract: We present 12CO (2-1) data of three Virgo spirals - NGC 4330, NGC 4402 and NGC 4522 obtained using the Submillimeter Array. These three galaxies show clear evidence of ram pressure stripping due to the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/mnras/sty1610
Abstract: The removal of gas by ram pressure stripping of galaxies is treated by a purely kinematic description. The solution has two asymptotic limits: if the duration of the ram pressure pulse exceeds the period of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/mnras/sty2203
Abstract: Ram pressure stripping (RPS) of gas from disk galaxies has long been considered to play vital roles in galaxy evolution within groups and clusters. For a given density of intracluster medium (ICM) and a given… read more here.

Following the crumbs: statistical effects of ram pressure in galaxies

DOI: 10.1093/mnras/stz3456
Abstract: We analyse the presence of dust around galaxy group members through the reddening of background quasars. By taking into account quasar colour and their dependence on redshift and angular position, we derive mean quasar colours… read more here.
