Environmental effects on dwarf galaxy evolution
Using an N-body/Tree-code and Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics, the influence of ram pressure stripping and harassment on an infalling star-forming galaxy population is investigated. In combination these mechanisms act to strip late-type dwarfs of their gas content in less than 0.5 Gyrs, causing a ce...
