GASP-related science

Within the ERC program, some of us are conducting an effort to characterize ram pressure stripped galaxies in intermediate redshift clusters. Thanks to the MUSE-Guaranted Time Observations (GTO) data (Bacon et al. 2017, Richard et al 2021), 10 galaxy clusters at z=0.3-0.6 are being inspected and spatially resolved data of both star forming and passive cluster galaxies are being studied. Combining HST and MUSE observations we are characterizing the capability of ram pressure stripping in producing ionised gas tails and quenching the star formation at significant look-back times.
