GASP

GAs Stripping Phenomena in galaxies

GASP (GAs Stripping Phenomena in galaxies) is a multi wavelength program aimed at improving our understanding of gas removal processes from galaxies in different environments.

The backbone of the project is an ESO Large Program carried out with the MUSE Integral Field spectrograph on the VLT to observe 100 stripping candidates at z=0.04-0.07. These observations provide the spatially resolved stellar and ionized gas properties.

Multiple follow ups are currently being conducted at various wavelengths (from UV to radio), exploiting many facilities (e.g. HST, ALMA, APEX, JVLA, Meerkat, Chandra, LOFAR, ATCA) focusing on the most extreme RP events (so called ``jellyfish galaxies'') to characterize the gas in all its phases and comprehend ram pressure stripping in all its aspects.
