The paper-reading binge continues. Here's one about a new way to detect if galaxies are experiencing ram pressure, or rather, an important validation of a model that seems to work surprisingly well. Now there are nicely resolved maps showing in convincingly consistent detail that the CII/FIR ratio really does work very well for this. Nothing revolutionary here, but curiously satisfying all the same.
