No cluster nearby so interaction

Its in a group, so could be ram pressure stripping. Other nearby galaxies also show signs of stripping.

Looks like a jellyfish galaxy

I don’t see a galaxy cluster nearby meaning there’s no intra-cluster medium so i’m assuming they’re at an early stage if interaction…they ‘seem’ to be at a reasonable distance to be interacting

RPS is only possible if it’s approaching a hot, intracluster medium, at high speed, excerting pressure on the galaxies, which is only possible if it’s a member of a cluster.

Other galaxies seem to have companion galaxies nearby that looked disturbed.

It can happen in groups too

Yes, there is literature evidence for RPS in groups but much different from ones in clusters - Large spirals are severely stripped in rich clusters and may be mildly stripped in groups containing a large galaxy.

This galaxy is quite unusual for RPS because it looks like a large spiral that is stripping its contents in a rich galaxy cluster.

There are other large galaxies close by that seems to form a group, but given a companion is nearby for this galaxy where it may have caused disturbance with this galaxy I assume this is highly unlikely.

Kolcu et al. (2022) seem to disagree:

Exactly because 2 years and 1 month ago I found this galaxy and posted here due to the characteristics. There is a larger elliptical (PGC 211) may be influencing this behavior

I’m referring to the galaxy i’ve posted. There is clear sign of warping in the disk, so i don’t think this is a jellyfish.

Disk warping happens in Jellyfish too :slight_smile:
