We investigate the relationship between stellar mass, metallicity and gas content for a magnitude- and volume-limited sample of 260 nearby late-type galaxies in different environments, from isolated galaxies to Virgo cluster members. We…

The neutral atomic hydrogen (HI) content of spiral galaxies has been observed to vary with environment, with more HI-deficient spirals residing in high density environments. This can be attributed to environmental effects such as ram…

Gas accretion and stellar feedback processes link metal content, star formation, and gas and stellar mass (and the potential depth) in star-forming galaxies. Constraining this hypersurface has been challenging because of the need for…
