Abstract
The role of the ram pressure is investigated in the evolution of the molecular clouds around our Galaxy. These systems play a fundamental role in the star formation processes and their evolution is considered under the effect of the main star formation mechanisms and their feedback. The role of the ram pressure, considered as external agent is taken into account and its influence on the derived Color Magnitude Diagrams is investigated for the first time in our local group of Galaxies. The challenge of the problem is double. First, it?s proposing to investigate a scarcely constrained boundary value problem for coupled differential equation, as a consequence forcing to an wide parameter space spanning. Second, it is trying to couple an observable quantities and the CMD in order to check the compatibility with model predictions. Despite these difficulties, the model has different outcomes that go well beyond the understangin of the fundamental physic, especially with large possibility of application on the topics of the star formation of the individual dwarf galaxies orbiting around our galaxy as well as on the application to the bigger external cluster of galaxies.
