Investigating the Intracluster Medium Viscosity Using the Tails of GASP Jellyfish Galaxies

The microphysics of the intracluster medium (ICM) in galaxy clusters is still poorly understood. Observational evidence suggests that the effective viscosity is suppressed by plasma instabilities that reduce the mean free path of particles. Measuring the effective viscosity of the ICM is crucial to...
