3 Nov 1995 | Subject: | astro-ph | Affiliation: | U.Minn.), Robert C. Kennicutt Jr. (Steward Obs., U. Arizona), Gregory A. Shields (U. Texas), and Dennis Zaritsky (UCO/Lick Obs., UCSC | Abstract: | We present new measurements of chemical abundances in H II regions in spiral galaxies of the Virgo cluster and a comparison of Virgo galaxies and field spirals. With these new data there now exist nine Virgo spirals with abundance measurements for at least four H II regions. Our sample of Virgo galaxies ranges from H I deficient objects near the core of the cluster to galaxies with normal H I properties, far from the cluster core. We investigate the relationship between H I disk characteristics and chemical abundances to determine whether dynamical process that remove gas from the disk, such as ram pressure stripping by the intracluster medium, also affect the chemical abundances. | Source: | arXiv, astro-ph/9511019 | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites |
