Abstract

We investigate the molecular and atomic gas properties of 20 Virgo cluster spiral galaxies by comparing with optical properties to assess the effect of the Virgo environment on the interstellar media of the Virgo disks. CO maps from FCRAO On-The-Fly (OTF) mapping survey and HI maps from VIVA (VLA Imaging of Virgo spirals in Atomic gas) are shown, and radial properties of molecular and atomic gas are compared. H2 deficiency along with HI is investigated, and gas evolution history of the Virgo cluster spirals is also examined.
