Summary
• A dwarf galaxy quenched by reionization is not necessarily permanently quenched
• Star formation can be reignited when ram pressure from an interaction with a dense stream of gas in the intergalactic medium causes halo gas to collapse onto the disk of a galaxy
• Dwarf galaxies in which star formation has been reignited by this process have high MHI/M* at z=0, even if the reignition event took place several Gyr ago arXiv:1802.03019
