How does environment affect galaxy evolution & star formation?
The VERTICO Survey is a completed ALMA Cycle 7 Large Program that has mapped the molecular gas, as the raw fuel for star formation, in 51 Virgo Cluster galaxies with the aim of revealing the effects of environment on galaxy evolution in unprecedented detail.
Please see Brown et al. 2021 for details.
VERTICO aims to make progress on key outstanding questions about how environment drives galaxy evolution.
What is the dominant mode of environmental influence on galaxies?
How do environmental factors affect the conversion of gas into stars?
Is the process of star formation universal across different environments?
