Abstract

The evolution of galaxies has, for many years, been known to be driven by a combination of internal and environmental processes. Spectacular examples of environmental quenching at play are so-called "jellyfish" galaxies, whose asymmetric morphologies are suggestive of intense ram-pressure stripping. I will demonstrate the power of MUSE IFU data in characterising properties and kinematics of jellyfish galaxies, and also present the most interesting results so far from the GASP (GAs Stripping Phenomena in galaxies with MUSE) program.
