An H I and optical study of the gas poor Virgo cluster spiral NGC 4571.
Abstract
Several studies have indicated that the galaxies in the Virgo cluster core region have low H I contents and low star formation rates compared to galaxies of similar morphological type in the field. Kennicutt (1983) identified a few galaxies with extreme properties: galaxies with morphological type Sc, but colors, H I contents and star formation rates which are more typical for field Sb galaxies. The authors chose one such anemic galaxy, NGC 4571, for a detailed study using the VLA to study the H I and the Mt. Lemmon, Mt. Palomar and Kitt Peak facilities to obtain optical continuum and Hα data.
