abstract

Disturbed spiral galaxies with high rates of star formation pervaded clusters of galaxies just a few billion years ago, but nearby clusters exclude spirals in favor of ellipticals. ``Galaxy harassment" (frequent high speed galaxy encounters) drives the morphological transformation of galaxies in clusters, provides fuel for quasars in subluminous hosts and leaves detectable debris arcs. Simulated images of harassed galaxies are strikingly similar to the distorted spirals in clusters at $z \sim 0.4$ observed by the Hubble Space Telescope.

Cosmic web stripping and starvation of low-mass filament galaxies in TNG50

astro-ph.GA · 2026-05-22 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

Low-mass filament galaxies in TNG50 exhibit smaller asymmetric cold gas discs due to cosmic web tidal fields causing altered accretion or starvation and late-time stripping, while integrated stellar and halo properties remain similar to field counterparts after mass and environment controls.
