When and How Ram Pressure Stripping in Low-mass Satellite Galaxies Enhances Star Formation

We investigate how a satellite's star formation rate (SFR) and surviving gas respond to ram pressure stripping (RPS) in various environments. Using a suite of high-resolution wind tunnel simulations with radiative cooling, star formation, and supernovae feedback, we model the first infall orbit...
