![]() ![]() One-sided tails of H α emission of 10–20 kpc projected size were detected, suggesting an ongoing ram pressure stripping event. RAM PRESSURE STRIPING FULLWe therefore devoted one full night of H α observation to each of the three galaxies using the San Pedro Martir 2.1 m telescope. ![]() However the lack of a simultaneous r-band exposure, together with the presence of strong stellar ghosts in the Subaru images, prevented us from quantifying the detections. Hints that these galaxies possess an extended component were found in earlier, deeper H α observations carried out with the Subaru telescope. We report the detection of H α trails behind three new intermediate-mass irregular galaxies in the NW outskirts of the nearby cluster of galaxies Abell 1656 (Coma).
