We present the results of a Very Large Array H i imaging survey aimed at understanding why some galaxies develop long extraplanar H α tails, becoming extreme jellyfish galaxies. The observations are centered on five extreme jellyfish galaxies optically selected from the WINGS and OMEGAWINGS surveys and confirmed to have long H α tails through MUSE observations. Each galaxy is located in a different cluster. In the observations, there are in total 88 other spiral galaxies within the field of view (40′ × 40′) and observed bandwidth (6500 km s
â'1 ). We detect 13 of these 88 spirals, plus one uncataloged spiral, with H i masses ranging from 1 to 7 Ă— 109 M⊙ . Many of these detections have extended H i disks, two show direct evidence for ram pressure stripping, and others are possibly affected by tidal forces and/or ram pressure stripping. We stack the 75 nondetected spiral galaxies and find an average H i mass of 1.9 Ă— 108 M⊙ , which, given their average stellar mass, implies that they are very H i deficient. Comparing the extreme jellyď¬sh galaxies to the other disk galaxies, we ď¬nd that they are at smaller projected distance from the cluster center, and have a higher stellar mass and higher relative velocity than all other H i detections and most nondetections. We conclude that the high stellar mass allows extreme jellyfish galaxies to fall deeply into the cluster before being stripped, and the surrounding ICM pressure gives rise to their spectacular star-forming tails.

We present a catalogue of 261 new infrared selected members of the 3C 129 galaxy cluster. The cluster, located at z ≈ 0.02, forms part of the Perseus-Pisces filament and is obscured at optical wavelengths due to its location in the zone of avoidance. We identified these galaxies using the J- and K-band imaging data provided by the UKIDSS Galactic Plane Survey within an area with a radius of 1.1° centred on the X-ray emission of the cluster at ℓ, b ≈ 160.52° ,0.27°. A total of 26 of the identified galaxy members have known redshifts 24 of which are from our 2016 Westerbork H I survey and two are from optical spectroscopy. An analysis of the galaxy density at the core of the 3C 129 cluster shows it to be less dense than the Coma and Norma clusters, but comparable to the galaxy density in the core of the Perseus cluster. From an assessment of the spatial and velocity distributions of the 3C 129 cluster galaxies that have redshifts, we derived a velocity of cz = 5227 ± 171 km s−1 and σ = 1097 ± 252 km s−1 for the main cluster, with a substructure in the cluster outskirts at cz = 6923 ± 71 km s−1 with σ = 422 ± 100 km s−1. The presence of this substructure is consistent with previous claims based on the X-ray analysis that the cluster is not yet virialised and may have undergone a recent merger. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

We present the discovery of a single radio relic located at the edge of the galaxy cluster A2384, using the MeerKAT radio telescope. A2384 is a nearby (z = 0.092), low-mass, complex bimodal, merging galaxy cluster that displays a dense X-ray filament (∼700 kpc in length) between A2384(N; northern cluster) and A2384(S; southern cluster). The origin of the radio relic is puzzling. Using the MeerKAT observation of A2384, we estimate that the physical size of the radio relic is 824 × 264 kpc
2 and that it is a steep spectrum source. The radio power of the relic is |$P_{1.4\mathrm{GHz}}\, \sim$| (3.87 ± 0.40) × 1023 W Hz−1 . This radio relic could be the result of shock wave propagation during the passage of the low-mass A2384(S) cluster through the massive A2384(N) cluster, creating a trail appearing as a hot X-ray filament. In the previous GMRT 325 MHz observation, we detected a peculiar FR I radio galaxy interacting with the hot X-ray filament of A2384, but the extended radio relic was not detected; it was confused with the southern lobe of the FR I galaxy. This newly detected radio relic is elongated and perpendicular to the merger axis, as seen in other relic clusters. In addition to the relic, we notice a candidate radio ridge in the hot X-ray filament. The physical size of the radio ridge source is ∼182 × 129 kpc2 . Detection of the diffuse radio sources in the X-ray filament is a rare phenomenon, and could be a new class of radio source found between the two merging clusters of A2384(N) and A2384(S).

We present VLA H i observations of JO206, a prototypical ram-pressure-stripped galaxy in the GASP sample. This massive galaxy (M * = 8.5 × 1010 M⊙) is located at a redshift of z = 0.0513, near the centre of the low-mass galaxy cluster, IIZw108 (σ ∼ 575 km s−1). JO206 is characterized by a long tail (≥90 kpc) of ionized gas stripped away by ram pressure. We find a similarly long H i tail in the same direction as the ionized gas tail and measure a total H i mass of 3.2 × 109 M⊙. This is about half the expected H i mass given the stellar mass and surface density of JO206. A total of 1.8 × 109 M⊙ (60 per cent) of the detected H i is in the gas-stripped tail. An analysis of the star formation rate shows that the galaxy is forming more stars compared to galaxies with the same stellar and H i mass. On average we find an H i gas depletion time of ∼0.5 Gyr which is about four times shorter than that of 'normal' spiral galaxies. We performed a spatially resolved analysis of the relation between star formation rate density and gas density in the disc and tail of the galaxy at the resolution of our H i data. The star formation efficiency of the disc is about 10 times higher than that of the tail at fixed H i surface densities. Both the inner and outer parts of JO206 show an enhanced star formation compared to regions of similar H i surface density in field galaxies. The enhanced star formation is due to ram-pressure stripping during the galaxy's first infall into the cluster. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

We present results of a blind 21cm HI-line imaging survey of a galaxy overdensity located behind the Milky Way at ℓ, b≈ 160°, 0.5°. The overdensity corresponds to a zone-of-avoidance crossing of the Perseus-Pisces Supercluster filament. Although it is known that this filament contains an X-ray galaxy cluster (3C 129) hosting two strong radio galaxies, little is known about galaxies associated with this potentially rich cluster because of the high Galactic dust extinction. We mapped a sky area of ∼9.6 deg2 using the Westerbork Synthesis Radio Telescope in a hexagonal mosaic of 35 pointings observed for 12 h each, in the radial velocity range cz = 2400-16 600 km s-1. The survey has a sensitivity of 0.36 mJy beam-1 rms at a velocity resolution of 16.5 km s-1.We detected 211 galaxies, 62 per cent of which have a near-infrared counterpart in the UKIDSS Galactic Plane Survey. We present a catalogue of the HI properties and an HI atlas containing total intensity maps, position-velocity diagrams, global HI profiles and UKIDSS counterpart images. For the resolved galaxies we also present HI velocity fields and radial HI surface density profiles. A brief analysis of the structures outlined by these galaxies finds that 87 of them lie at the distance of the Perseus-Pisces Supercluster (cz ∼ 4000-8000 km s-1) and seem to form part of the 3C 129 cluster. Further 72 detections trace an overdensity at a velocity of cz ≈ 10 000 km s-1 and seem to coincide with a structure predicted from mass density reconstructions in the first 2MASS Redshift Survey.
