The effect of ram pressure on the star formation, mass distribution and morphology of galaxies
Aims. We investigate the dependence of star formation and the distribution of the components of galaxies on the strength of ram pressure. Several mock observations in X-ray, Hα and HI wavelength for different ram-pressure scenarios are
متن کاملEffects of ram pressure on the gas distribution and star formation in the Large Magellanic Cloud
We use high resolution N-body/SPH simulations to study the hydrodynamical interaction between the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) and the hot halo of the Milky Way. We investigate whether ram-pressure acting on the satellite’s ISM can explain the peculiarities observed in the HI distribution and the location of the recent star formation activity. Due to the present nearly edge-on orientation of th...
متن کاملRam pressure stripping and the formation of cold fronts
Chandra and XMM-Newton observations of many clusters reveal sharp discontinuities in the surface brightness, which, unlike shocks, have lower gas temperature on the X-ray brighter side of the discontinuity. For that reason these features are called “cold fronts”. It is believed that some cold fronts are formed when a subcluster merges with another cluster and the ram pressure of gas flowing out...
متن کاملRam Pressure and Anomalous Shell Formation in HoII
Neutral hydrogen VLA D-array observations of the dwarf irregular galaxy HoII, a prototype galaxy for studies of shell formation, are presented. The large-scale H I morphology is reminiscent of ram pressure and is unlikely caused by interactions. A case is made for intragroup gas in poor and compact groups like the M81 group, to which HoII belongs. Numerous shortcomings of the supernova explosio...
متن کاملRadiation Pressure in Massive Star Formation
Stars with masses of ∼ 20 M⊙ have short Kelvin times that enable them to reach the main sequence while still accreting from their natal clouds. The resulting nuclear burning produces a huge luminosity and a correspondingly large radiation pressure force on dust grains in the accreting gas. This effect may limit the upper mass of stars that can form by accretion. Indeed, simulations and analytic...
