Ram pressure stripping may be one of the dominant mechanisms driving the evolution of galaxies in groups and clusters. In this paper, models of ram pressure stripping are confronted with observations of galaxy colors and star formation rates using a group catalog drawn from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey and model predictions based on an analytical model of stripping presented in Hester (2006). A...
