The Evolution of Galaxies in Cluster Environment; HI Perspective
Fujita, A., van Gorkom, J. & van Kampen, E., 1-Sep-1999, In : American Astronomical Society Meeting. 194Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › Academic › peer-review

We investigate the degree to which the environment affects the evolution
of galaxies in clusters. One way is to study the fate of gas in cluster
galaxies by deep HI synthesis imaging. We are interested in the
correlation between HI deficiency of galaxies and the dynamical states
of clusters/the richness of intracluster medium. Another way is to model
the environmentally induced physical mechanisms such as ram-pressure
stripping/compression, galaxy harassment and tidal heating in the
context of a semi-analytic model of galaxy formation (van Kampen,
Jimenez, &\ Peacock 1999). The evolutionary trends in, for example,
HI, colour, morphology and SFR can be predicted with our model to be
compared with our HI observations and other multi-wavelength
observations. Preliminary results on an HI observation of Abell 85 and
the modeling will be presented.
