We conduct a comprehensive numerical study of the orbital dependence of harassment on early-type dwarfs consisting of 168 different orbits within a realistic, Virgo-like cluster, varying in eccentricity and pericentre distance. We find harassment is... Read More about The sensitivity of harassment to orbit: Mass loss from early-type dwarfs in galaxy clusters.
