1) Star Formation Efficiency (SFE*) in interacting galaxies

SFE = 1/τdepletion =ΣSFR /Σgas

2) Effects of Diffuse emission

Star Formation Rate (SFR)

How does galactic interaction affects efficiency of SFR?

SFE = 1/τdepletion =ΣSFR /Σgas

1) Does SFE change through galactic evolution and interaction?

2) Mean galactic value vs. sub-galactic values?

τdepletion

≈ 2 Gyr

Non-Jellyfish galaxies.

How reliable are methods that use only the [SII]/Hα ratio or using only the Hα emission?

Next steps:

- How different Tails from Disks are?- Fraction of DIG among the Jellyfish galaxies- origin of the DIG?

Thank you!
