1
HI Gas as Function of Environment
3
When and where do galaxies stop accreting cool gas? How do they loose the cool gas? When do they stop forming stars?
4
Oosterloo, Fraternali, Sancisi, 2007, AJ 134, 1019
5
The lore.. if halos get too big, gas does not cool But.. at least some dry mergers are wet, and forming stars Donovan, Hibbard, an Gorkom, 2007, AJ 134, 1118
6
The Morphology-Density Relation It extends over 6 orders of magnitude! Postman and Geller 1984 Dressler 1980
7
Gas content and star formation rate less in dense group environment and outskirts of clusters The outskirts of clusters Solanes et al find smooth variation of HI deficiency out to 2 R A This agrees nicely with results obtained on smoothly varying star formation rate out to 2 R A In clusters at intermediate z: Balogh et al 1998 Treu et al 2003 fraction early types steep decline to 1 Mpc, gradual to 5 Mpc Regions of mean high galaxy density In 2dF : Lewis et al 2002 In Sloan: Gomez et al 2003; Nichol 2004 General conclusion star formation declines if galaxy density exceeds a certain value
8
Solanes et al 2001 Note that deficiency goes out to 2 R A
9
Possible Drivers for Environmental Evolution Gravitational galaxy galaxy : slow encounters mergers - tidal structures galaxy cluster : tidal stretching galaxy many galaxies: harassment cumulative effect of many fast encounters truncates or destroys small galaxies Affects both gas and stars Gas dynamical effects ram pressure stripping turbulent viscous stripping conduction Affects only the gas Starvation removes left over gas reservoir that fuels star formation

VIVA VLA Imaging of Virgo Galaxies in Atomic Gas Aeree Chung, Hugh Crowl, Kenney, van Gorkom, Vollmer Select galaxies over wide range of local densities Select galaxies with wide range of star formation properties Identify galaxies undergoing trauma Make sophisticated guess as to what is happening Use simulation to make a more sophisticated guess Compare timescales from stellar population synthesis with timescales from simulation
11
Viva-poster
12
Subgroups Small gas disks (compared to the stellar counterpart) around the cluster center Comparable or more extended than the stellar disks Small gas disk further away from the cluster center
13
Very small gas disk (blue) compared to optical In Center of Cluster
14
Tails 2
15
Can these tails be formed by ram pressure stripping? Five galaxy tails could have been formed by ram pressure N4654 probably combination of gravitational and rp N4396 possibly also, or viscous stripping
16
HI TAIL Galaxies We see for the first time galaxies being affected at intermediate distances. These are galaxies radially falling in Their gas is being removed by ram pressure and/or by gravitational interaction Chung, van Gorkom, Kenney, Vollmer, 2007, ApJ 659, L115 NGC 4522 This galaxy is different, though far out in cluster, it is stripped well to within the disk
17
HI stripped from NGC 4522 0.5L* galaxy with normal stellar disk Has only 25% of normal HI (HI def =0.6) HI truncated in disk at 0.3R 25 extraplanar HI (40% of total) on only one side of disk NGC 4522 WIYN BVR NGC 4522 VLA HI on R Kenney, van Gorkom & Vollmer 2004
18
Disk HI grey scale, extraplanar contours; Note acceleration toward cluster mean
19
Young Stellar Population in Stripped Outer Disk of NGC 4522 Strong Balmer lines and bright FUV emission in stripped outer disk indicate star formation stopped only ~100 Myr ago --> disk was stripped recently Crowl & Kenney 2006 GALEX FUV+NUV OPT + HI
20
Evidence of Ongoing Pressure from Radio Continuum in NGC 4522 Flattest spectral index (-0.7) local electron acceleration suggestive of shock Enhanced 6cm polarization suggests compressed magnetic field Vollmer, Beck, Kenney & van Gorkom 2004 6cm Polarized Flux on HI Spectral index 6/20 cm Eastern leading edge has:
21
Simulations vs. HI Data in NGC 4522 Large amounts of extraplanar HI close to disk truncation radius early stage of active stripping Large extraplanar gas concentrations on both sides of minor axis --> disk-wind angle is more face-on than edge-on Vollmer simulation Vollmer simulation 50 Myr after peak pressure HI data Vollmer etal 2006
22
NGC 4522 is stripped locally and not in core NGC 4522 cannot travel far in 100 Myr, so must be stripped locally & not in cluster core NGC 4522 is located 3.5 o = 0.8 Mpc from M87 Time to reach core ~700 Myr
23
Asca data Shibata et al 2001 M49 subcluster falling in 1300km/s ICM velocity could increase ram pressure by factor 10 ongoing stripping
24
2 tails pointing toward M49 Just south of NGC 4522

Oosterloo and van Gorkom, 2005

Crowl et al 2005
31
Conclusions from HI imaging of selected galaxies In center we see very small HI disks.. Almost certainly due to ram pressure stripping The stripping is important for the evolution of the galaxies. H alpha imaging (Koopmann Kenney 1998, 2004) shows that Virgo galaxies have reduced star formation rates compared to the field. This is primarily caused by truncation of starforming disks. A strong correlation is found between HI deficiency and normalized H alpha flux We see for the first time galaxies being affected at intermediate distances. Galaxies falling in radially are being affected by ram pressure and/or gravitational interactions Some galaxies at large distances being affected by strong rampressure. These galaxies are very HI deficient. Evidence for a dynamic ICM

Stacked spectra of non detected galaxies No detection of blue B-O galaxies detection of blue field galaxies It is location of B-O galaxies that makes them different

51
0-1 Mpc 1-2.4 Mpc 2.4 - 5 Mpc Changes in cool gas mass for the galaxies that have no changes in stellar mass. Gas loss Gas accretion
52
Ram pressure as function of distance from center
54
Conclusions from simulations Observe mergers in central region as well as periphery, none are dry. None of the mergers exhaust gas supply of participating galaxies Ram pressure effective beyond central region, although most gas loss within 1 Mpc. Timescales 1 Gyr or more. Ram pressure begins in transition region for half of ram pressure stripped galaxies and in one case in periphery Galaxies in periphery often accrete cool gas, this stops between 1-2.4 Mpc, indicating the onset of starvation Tonnesen, Bryan, JvG, 2007, ApJ 671, 1434
55
Summary In the far outskirts of Virgo galaxies are stripped of their gas on first infall in the cluster..this affects their star formation rate and colors In a sample of nearby clusters we find that the HI detection rate depends on the dynamical state of clusters Observations and simulations suggest that as clusters assemble galaxies can be affected at large distances from cluster core.
