    5. NASA: Galaxy videos: Galaxy keyword search:
      1. NASA: Ram pressure stripping film effect | 0:23: Authoritative: This film effect video shows spiral galaxy undergoing galaxy ram pressure stripping in a hot intracluster medium (ICM). As the spiral galaxy moves rapidly through the intracluster medium, its cold interstellar medium (ISM) is pushed out by the hot ICM. The pushed-out ISM appears as tailing streaks. The cold ISM is needed for star formation since it can lose pressure and undergo runaway gravitational collapse to dense cores and then protostars. The hot ICM now in the spiral galaxy CANNOT undergo runaway gravitational collapse, and so star formation turns off and spiral galaxy is now a quenched galaxy, probably forever. All galaxies moving in a galaxy cluster tend to be quenched via galaxy ram pressure stripping (see Lotz et al. 2018). The bigger they are the longer they can resist galaxy ram pressure stripping. Good and short enough for the classroom.
