VizieR Online Data Catalog: VERTICO: the Virgo EnviRonment Traced In CO survey (Brown+, 2021)
Abstract
The Virgo EnviRonment Traced in CO (VERTICO) survey targets 51 Virgo Cluster galaxies included in the Very Large Array Imaging of Virgo in Atomic gas (VIVA) survey (Chung+ 2009AJ....138.1741C). The Virgo region has been remarkably well surveyed at almost every wavelength. See Section 2.
We observed 36 targets in CO(2-1), 13CO(2-1), C18O(2-1), and ALMA Band 6 continuum in ALMA Cycle 7. The target galaxies are combined with archival Atacama Compact Array (ACA) CO (2-1) data (7m and Total Power arrays) for 14 massive Virgo Cluster spirals from the ALMA component of the Physics at High Angular resolution in Nearby GalaxieS project (PHANGS-ALMA; Leroy+ 2021ApJS..257...43L) and one from a regular program (2016.1.00912.S; Cramer+ 2020ApJ...901...95C) to make the final VERTICO sample of 51 galaxies. Our final CO data cubes have a resolving beam of ~7"-10", corresponding to ~0.6-0.8kpc at the distance of Virgo, and 10km/s velocity resolution. Throughout this paper, we assume a common distance of 16.5Mpc to all Virgo galaxies based on the Virgo Cluster distance found by Mei+ (2007, J/ApJ/655/144). (3 data files).- Publication:
