Jellyfish galaxy information


Ram pressure stripping of gas from a galaxy in ESO 137-001.

A jellyfish galaxy is a type of galaxy found in galaxy clusters. They are characterised by ram pressure stripping of gas from the affected galaxy by the intracluster medium, triggering starbursts along a tail of gas.[1]

Jellyfish galaxies have been seen in a number of galaxy clusters including the Hydra Cluster, Abell 2125 (redshift z=0.20; ACO 2125 C153);[2][1] Abell 2667 (z=0.23; G234144−260358);[2][1] Abell 2744 (z=0.31; ACO 2744 Central Jellyfish;[3] HLS001427–30234/ACO 2744 F0083;[2][1][3][4] GLX001426–30241 / ACO 2744 F0237 / ACO 2733 CN104;[3][4] MIP001417–302303 / ACO 2744 F1228;[3][4] HLS001428–302334;[4] GLX001354–302212[4] ).
