UV and Hα HST Observations of Six GASP Jellyfish Galaxies

Star-forming, H α -emitting clumps are found embedded in the gaseous tails of galaxies undergoing intense ram pressure stripping in galaxy clusters, so-called jellyfish galaxies. These clumps offer a unique opportunity to study star formation under extreme conditions, in the absence of an underlying...
