We use smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) models to study the large-scale morphology and dynamical evolution of the intergalactic gas in Stephans Quintet, and compare to multiwavelength observations. Specifically, we model the formation of the hot X-ray gas, the large-scale shock, and emission line gas as the result of NGC 7318b colliding with the group. We also reproduce the N-body model of Renaud and Appleton for the tidal structures in the group.

The Stephans Quintet (SQ, HCG92) was observed with the Far-Infrared Surveyor (FIS) aboard AKARI in four far-infrared (IR) bands at 65, 90, 140, and 160 um. The AKARI four-band images of the SQ show far-IR emission in the intergalactic medium (IGM) of
the SQ. In particular, the 160 um band image shows single peak emission in addition to the structure extending in the North-South direction along the shock ridge as seen in the 140 um band, H2 emission and X-ray emission. Whereas most of the far-IR emission in the shocked region comes from the cold dust component, shock-powered [CII]158um emission can significantly contribute to the emission in the 160 um band that shows a single peak at the shocked region. In the shocked region, the observed gas-to-dust mass ratio is in agreement with the Galactic one. The color temperature of the cold dust component (~20 K) is lower than that in surrounding galaxies (~30 K). We discuss a possible origin of the intergalactic dust emission.
We carried out IFU optical spectroscopy on three pointings in and near the SQ shock. We used PMAS on the 3.5m Calar Alto telescope to obtain measures of emission lines that provide insight into physical properties of the gas. Severe blending of Halph
a and [NII]6548,6583A emission lines in many spaxels required the assumption of at least two kinematical components in order to extract fluxes for the individual lines. Main results from our study include: (a) detection of discrete emission features in the new intruder velocity range 5400-6000km/s showing properties consistent with HII regions, (b) detection of a low velocity component spanning the range 5800-6300km/s with properties resembling a solar metallicity shocked gas and (c) detection of a high velocity component at ~6600km/s with properties consistent with those of a low metallicity shocked gas. The two shocked components are interpreted as products of a collision between NGC7318b new intruder and a debris field in its path. This has given rise to a complex structure of ionized gas where several components with different kinematical and physical properties coexist although part of the original ISM associated with NGC7318b is still present and remains unaltered. Our observations suggest that the low velocity ionized component might have existed before the new intruder collision and could be associated with the NW-LV HI component of Williams et al. (2002). The high velocity ionized component might fill the gap between the HI complexes observed in SQ-A and NGC7319s tidal filament (NW-HV, Arc-N and Arc-S in Williams et al. 2002).
We present smoothed particle hydrodynamic models of the interactions in the compact galaxy group, Stephans Quintet. This work is extension of the earlier collisionless N-body simulations of Renaud et al. in which the large-scale stellar morphology of
the group was modeled with a series of galaxy-galaxy interactions in the simulations. Including thermohydrodynamic effects in this work, we further investigate the dynamical interaction history and evolution of the intergalactic gas of Stephans Quintet. The major features of the group, such as the extended tidal features and the group-wide shock, enabled us to constrain the models reasonably well, while trying to reproduce multiple features of the system. We found that reconstructing the two long tails extending from NGC 7319 toward NGC 7320c one after the other in two separate encounters is very difficult and unlikely, because the second encounter usually destroys or distorts the already-generated tidal structure. Our models suggest the two long tails may be formed simultaneously from a single encounter between NGC 7319 and 7320c, resulting in a thinner and denser inner tail than the outer one. The tails then also run parallel to each other as observed. The model results support the ideas that the group-wide shock detected in multi-wavelength observations between NGC 7319 and 7318b and the starburst region north of NGC 7318b are triggered by the high-speed collision between NGC 7318b and the intergalactic gas. Our models show that a gas bridge is formed by the high-speed collision and clouds in the bridge continue to interact for some tens of millions of years after the impact. This produces many small shocks in that region, resulting a much longer cooling time than that of a single impact shock.
Stephans Quintet (SQ), the prototypical compact group of galaxies in the local Universe, has been observed with the imaging Fourier transform spectrometer SITELLE, attached to the CFHT, to perform a deep search for intergalactic star-forming emission
. We present the extended ionised gaseous structures detected and analyse their kinematical properties. The large field of view (11x11) and the spectral ranges of SITELLE have allowed a thorough study of the entire galaxy system, its interaction history and the main properties of the ionised gas. The observations have revealed complex 3D strands in SQ seen for the first time, as well as the spatially resolved velocity field for a new SQ dwarf galaxy (M82-like) and the detailed spectral map of NGC7320c, confirming its AGN nature. A total of 175 SQ H$alpha$ emission regions have been found, 22 of which present line profiles with at least two kinematical components. We studied 12 zones and 28 sub-zones in the SQ system to define plausible physical spatial connections between its different parts in the light of the kinematical information gathered. In this respect we have found 5 velocity systems in SQ: i) v=[5600-5900] $km,s^{-1}$; ii) v=[5900-6100] $km,s^{-1}$; iii) v=[6100-6600] $km,s^{-1}$; iv) v=[6600-6800] $km,s^{-1}$; and v) v=[6800-7000] $km,s^{-1}$. No gas emission is detected in the old tail, neither near NGC7318A nor in NGC7317, and the connection between NGC7319 north lobe and starburst A cannot be confirmed. Conversely, a clear gaseous bridge has been confirmed both spatially and kinematically between the large-scale shock region and the NGC7319 AGN. Finally, a larger scale, outer rim winding the NGC7318B/A system clockwise north-west to south-east has been highlighted in continuum and in H$alpha$. This structure may be reminiscent of a sequence of a previously proposed scenario for SQ a sequence of individual interactions.
We investigated the star formation efficiency for all the dust emitting sources in Stephans Quintet (SQ). We inferred star formation rates using Spitzer MIR/FIR and GALEX FUV data and combined them with gas column density measurements by various auth
ors, in order to position each source in a Kennicutt-Schmidt diagram. Our results show that the bright IGM star formation regions in SQ present star formation efficiencies consistent with those observed within local galaxies. On the other hand, star formation in the intergalactic shock region seems to be rather inhibited.
