In this paper we investigate environment driven gas depletion in satellite galaxies, taking full advantage of the atomic hydrogen (HI) spectral stacking technique to quantify content for entire gas-poor -rich regime. We do so using a multi-wavelength sample 10,600 selected according stellar mass (log M$_{\star}$/M$_{\odot}$ $\geq$ 9) and redshift (0.02 $\leq$ z 0.05) from Sloan Digital Sky Survey, with HI data Arecibo Legacy Fast ALFA (ALFALFA) survey. Using key HI-to-stellar scaling...
We revisit the main HI-to-stellar mass ratio (gas fraction) scaling relations, taking advantage of HI spectral stacking technique to understand dependence gas content on structural and star formation properties nearby galaxies.

We use deep HI observations obtained as part of the extended GALEX Arecibo SDSS survey (xGASS) to study cold gas properties central galaxies across environments. find that, below stellar masses 10^10.2 Msun, in groups have an average atomic hydrogen fraction ~0.3dex higher than those isolation at same mass. At these masses, group are usually found small N=2 members. The content low mass is mirrored by their star formation activity and molecular content. larger this difference disappears...
Abstract The PHANGS survey uses Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array, Hubble Space Telescope, Very and JWST to obtain an unprecedented high-resolution view of nearby galaxies, covering millions spatially independent regions. high dimensionality such a diverse multiwavelength data set makes it challenging identify new trends, particularly when they connect observables from different wavelengths. Here, we use unsupervised machine-learning algorithms mine this information-rich novel...

In this paper, we stack neutral atomic hydrogen (H i) spectra for 9720 star-forming galaxies along the mass–metallicity relation. The sample is selected according to stellar mass (109 ≤ M⋆/M⊙ 1011) and redshift (0.02 z 0.05) from overlap of Sloan Digital Sky Survey Arecibo Legacy Fast ALFA survey. We confirm quantify strong anticorrelation between H i gas-phase metallicity at fixed mass. Furthermore, show first time that relationship gas content consistent different estimators, contrary...

Abstract We present high-resolution ALMA observations of the C 18 O, 13 CO, and 12 CO J = 1–0 isotopologues in three nearby ultraluminous infrared galaxies (ULIRGS; Arp 220, IRAS 13120-5453, 17208-0014) one post-merger galaxy (NGC 2623). In all four systems, we measure high CO/C O CO/ integrated line ratios while ratio is observed to be extremely low comparison typical star-forming disks, supporting previous work. investigate whether these unusual are due dynamical effects, astrochemistry...
Abstract The quenching of cluster satellite galaxies is inextricably linked to the suppression their cold interstellar medium (ISM) by environmental mechanisms. While removal neutral atomic hydrogen (H i ) at large radii well studied, how environment impacts remaining gas in centres galaxies, which are dominated molecular gas, less clear. Using new observations from Virgo Environment traced CO survey (VERTICO) and archival H data, we study within optical discs on 1.2-kpc scales with...
The feedback from an active galactic nucleus (AGN) is frequently invoked as a mechanism through which gas can be heated or removed galaxy. However, fraction measurements in AGN hosts have yielded mixed support for this scenario. Here, we re-visit the assessment of fgas (=MHI/M*) z<0.05 Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) using two complementary techniques. First, investigate 75 host galaxies extended GALEX Arecibo SDSS (xGASS), whose atomic fractions are complete to few percent. Second,...

We present the HI eXtreme (HIX) galaxy survey targeting some of most rich galaxies in southern hemisphere. The 13 HIX have been selected to host massive discs at a given stellar luminosity. compare these control sample average detected Parkes All Sky Survey (HIPASS, Barnes et al. 2001). As is matched luminosity, we find that properties are similar sample. Furthermore, specific star formation rate and optical morphology do not differ between galaxies. find, however, be less efficient forming...

We analyze cold-gas distributions in Virgo cluster galaxies using resolved CO(2-1) (tracing molecular hydrogen, H2) and HI observations from the Environment Traced In CO (VERTICO) VLA Imaging of Atomic Gas (VIVA) surveys. From a theoretical perspective, it is expected that environmental processes clusters will have stronger influence on diffuse atomic gas compared to relatively dense component, these perturbations can compress cold interstellar medium leading elevated star formation. this...

ABSTRACT Stellar feedback-driven outflows are important regulators of the gas–star formation cycle. However, resolving outflow physics requires high-resolution observations that can only be achieved in very nearby galaxies, making suitable targets rare. We present first results from new VLT/MUSE large programme MAUVE (MUSE and ALMA Unveiling Virgo Environment), which aims to understand cycle within context cluster environment. Outflows a key part this cycle, we focus on peculiar galaxy NGC...
