I have a new paper on arXiv today!
🌠 As galaxies move through space, they can lose stars and gas to their environment, forming spectacular tails—but that’s not the whole story. Deep inside, supermassive black holes are at work too, shaping their evolution.

Jellyfish galaxies with the IllustrisTNG simulations -- Supermassive black hole activity in dense environments with ram-pressure stripped satellites
Jellyfish galaxies are extreme examples of how galaxies can transform due to dense environmental effects. These satellite galaxies suffer from ram-pressure stripping, leading to the formation of their...
