| contents | The cluster environment can have a significant impact on galaxy evolution. We study the impact that passage through a cluster has on stellar and ionised gas kinematics for galaxies within the Sydney-AAO Multi Integral field (SAMI) Galaxy Survey. We compute the kinematic asymmetry $v_{\rm asym}$ in the line-of-sight stellar and ionsied gas velocity maps to quantify how the cluster environment disturbs the kinematics of the stars and ionised gas. We find a significantly higher fraction of galaxies with elevated gas asymmetries in clusters compared to non-cluster environments (17$^{+2}_{-3}$\%, 26/154 vs. 11$^{+1}_{-1}$\%, 72/751), with these galaxies most likely being recent infallers passage based on their position in projected-phase-space. Compared to cluster galaxies without elevated gas asymmetries, cluster galaxies with elevated gas asymmetries have, on average, more centrally concentrated star-formation. Finally, we find the highest fraction of galaxies with elevated gas asymmetries in clusters likely to host significant substructure or be dynamically complex. Our findings are consistent with the scenario of galaxies falling into clusters, either individually or in groups, and undergoing disk-fading and a redistribution of gas, due to ram pressure stripping experienced during pericentre passage. |
