| Abstract: | Based on two models, we investigate the molecular-to-atomic gas ratio in Virgo cluster galaxies in comparison with field galaxies.
We show that the enhanced metallicity for cluster members and the ram pressure stripping of atomic gas from the disk periphery
cannot fully explain the observed gas component ratios. The additional environmental factors affecting the interstellar medium
and leading to an increase in the molecular gas fraction should be taken into account for cluster galaxies. |
