Unveiling the physics of ram pressure stripping: New insights from GASP

Alessandro Ignesti

Jellyfish galaxies, characterised by long filaments of stripped interstellar medium extending from their disks, are prime laboratories to study the results of ram pressure stripping in galaxy clusters and to explore the astrophysics of galaxies under extreme conditions. I will present a series of recent results in this field made by the GASP (GAs Stripping Phenomena in galaxies with MUSE) team based on a multi-wavelength survey of ram-pressure-stripped galaxies. Using a combination of LOFAR and MUSE observations, we have explored how the non-thermal components of the interstellar medium, namely magnetic fields and cosmic rays, evolve under the influence of ram pressure. First, I will show how we can use the stripped ionised plasma tails to probe the intracluster medium microphysics. Then I will provide an overview of how LOFAR has changed our understanding of the non-thermal radio emission observed in these galaxies and how the extraplanar magnetic field can regulate the interplay between the stripped interstellar medium and the surrounding intracluster medium. Finally, I will discuss the future perspectives in the upcoming SKA era.
