What are Anemic Galaxies?
Abstract
It is found that anemic spiral galaxies are enormously deficient in neutral hydrogen but have normal CO emission-line strengths. This observation may be accounted for by assuming that hydrogen gas has been stripped from the outer parts of these objects, while dense molecular clouds have not been lost to ram pressure stripping.
