Evolution of the same satellite as in Figure 9 across all the models. First row: Trajectory during their infall into the host halo. Second row: Evolution of the ram pressure (solid line) felt by the gas and the restoring force (dashed line) per unit area. Both lines begin when the satellite comes within 4 R vir host $ 4\,R_{\mathrm {vir}}^{\mathrm {host}} $ and Prest is defined as long as the satellite contain gas. Third row: Evolution of the ratio of ram pressure to the restoring force per unit area. Gray horizontal dashed line marks Pram/Prest = 1. Fourth row: Comparison between the tidal and ram pressure radius, represented as dashed and solid lines, respectively. Fifth row: Ratio between Es and Eint to identify high velocity satellite-satellite encounter. Red horizontal dashed line marks the threshold log ( E s / E int ) > 1.5 $ {\log \left (E_{\mathrm {s}}/E_{\mathrm {int}}\right )}>-1.5 $. Sixth row: Evolution of the star-forming gas mass, defined as gas with nH>1 cm−3 and a temperature below 104 K. Seventh row: Evolution of the ratio Mgas/Mhalo, the 1% is marked as a red dashed line for reference. Eighth row: SFR evolution, usually named Star Formation History (SFH). Ninth row: Evolution of the stellar mass. Stellar mass loss serves as an effective tracer for tidal stripping in the ISM. Tenth row: Mass inflow rate evolution for studying the effect of strangulation. Gray background lines in rows six to ten represent the evolution of the same parameter for field galaxies with Mpeak>1010 M for each model. The time domain where snapshots are still not available for each specific code are indicated as a gray shaded region. Vertical dashed lines mark the pericenter passages for each model. The same plot for a sample of (intercode matched) satellite galaxies can be found at this link, where examples of galaxies of different masses and following more radial or more tangential orbits are provided.
