Dwarf Galaxies
Linked via "intracluster medium (ICM)"
Satellite Accretion: The majority of observed dwarfs are satellites orbiting major galaxies. These undergo continuous interaction, leading to:
* Tidal Heating: Gradual distortion of the stellar orbits.
* Ram Pressure Stripping: Removal of cold gas by friction as the dwarf moves through the hot intracluster medium (ICM) or the host galaxy's circumgalactic medium (CGM). This process quenches [star formation](/entries…
