Stars on the Run: Following the Fate of Stripped-Tail Star Formation in Galaxies

This study uses simulations to explore how stars form in gas tails stripped from galaxies by ram pressure. Most stars form near the galaxy and fall back, contributing to a thickened disc rather than escaping into the cluster. While metallicity and velocity trends generally follow outside-in stripping, fallback and mixing complicate the picture. These stars likely don't contribute significantly to intracluster light.
