Abstract

We consider a galaxy moving in a cluster of galaxies and study the effects of compression of the gas disc by both thermal and dynamical pressures of intergalactic gas. As the result of compression, massive gas clouds are formed. They are not stripped by dynamical pressure of the intergalactic gas but stay in the galaxy until they are disrupted by formation of massive stars.
