Asymmetric Star Formation Efficiency Due to Ram Pressure Stripping

Asymmetric Star Formation Efficiency Due to Ram Pressure Stripping

Previous works have shown that a dense cluster environment affects satellite galaxy properties and accelerates or truncates their evolutionary processes. In this work, we use the EAGLE simulation to study this effect, dissecting the galaxies in two halves: the one that is falling directly to the clu...
