The HI Content of Non-Isolated Galaxies
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 April 2016
Extract
It seems obvious that the evolution of star formation rate and hence of gas content in galaxies strongly depends on their environment. It reveals itself in particular in enhanced star formation or even in a strong burst of activity of massive stars often observed in an interacting galaxies. Nevertheless it should be noted that the time scale for the gas to be exhausted in these galaxies is unknown even approximately. To clarify a role of surroundings in the evolution of disk galaxies we should compare the HI content of isolated and non-isolated galaxies otherwise similar by their properties.
