Title: H I deficiency in the spiral galaxies of the Virgo cluster

Journal Article · · Sov. Astron. Lett. (Engl. Transl.); (United States)
OSTI ID:6225228

The low abundance of interstellar gas and the retarded pace of star formation observed in some Virgo cluster galaxies can be explained by a stripping of gas from the outer parts of member galaxies due to the pressure of intergalactic gas on their gas layers, and by the enhanced depletion of gas due to star formation.
