Surface density of the ISM (green) and the newly formed stars (isolines) are shown for a ram-pressure stripping scenario of model galaxy 1nb in an ICM with a density of 10-27   g   cm-3. Note the colourbars for both distributions. Four different time steps are shown. New stars in the wake are formed in the dense gas knots. After 200 Myr many stars are present also in front of the disc. The stars formed in the wake are gravitationally attracted by the disc and due to the collisionless dynamics, these stars from the wake are falling through the disc. Furthermore, with the initial onset of ram pressure, the gas disc is pushed back from the stellar disc, as can be seen in the timestep after 50 Myr of evolution in the ICM.
