2 The Team 2

3 Galaxies and gas in clusters Cluster environment: - high galaxy density (ρgal~ 100 gal Mpc-3) - high velocity dispersion (v ~ 1000 km s-1) - ICM: hot (T ~ K) and dense (ρicm ~ 10-3 cm-3). Perturbing mechanisms: - starvation - galaxy harassment - ram pressure - thermal evaporation Questions: - Fraction of galaxies affected? - Dominant process? - Effect on star formation - Fate of stripped gas VIRGO cluster : UV : GUViCS (UV) Visible : NGVS FIR : HeViCS HI : ALFALFA + VIVA + ASKAP 4

4 VESTIGE : a CFHT Large Program Virgo Environmental Survey Tracing Ionised Gas Emission LP ( ), MegaCam@CFHT (1ox1o) 50 nights allocated to cover the Virgo cluster within 1 virial radius (~ 104o2) Integration time: 2 h in the new Hα filter (λ = 6563 Å, Δλ = 106 Å; T = 93%), 12 min in r (for the stellar continuum subtraction) Sensitivity: f(hα) ~ 2x10-17 erg sec-1 cm-2 (5σ) for point sources Σ(Hα) ~ 2x10-18 erg sec-1 cm-2 arcsec-2 (1σ) at 3 arcsec resolution Median seeing 0.65 arcsec. (At he Virgo Cluster distance : 1 arcsec=80 pc) Elixir-LSB pointing strategy for sky background.

5 VESTIGE : a CFHT Large Program Virgo Environmental Survey Tracing Ionised Gas Emission VIRGO SCIENCE The effects of the environment on galaxy evolution The fate of the stripped gas in cluster galaxies The star forming process in nearby galaxies The ionised gas emission in early-type galaxies The Hα luminosity function of galaxies The Hα scaling relation in galaxies The nature of dark galaxies The dynamical structure of the Virgo cluster The HII luminosity function of cluster galaxies Planetary nebulae and the origin of the intracluster light FOREGROUND The diffuse ionised emission of the Milky Way SCIENCE High velocity clouds, compact sources and Galactic fountains BACKGROUND SCIENCE High redshift emission line galaxies (Lyα, [OII], [OIII]) 6 QSOs

6 Status 244 validated frames in the r-band (60 sec exposure) and 268 (600 sec) in the Hα, for a total of hours (exp. time). data fully processed with Elixir-LSB. data fully reduced with MegaPipe (astrometric correction, photometric calibration and the stacking of the different frames). on-going optimisation of the pipeline for stellar continuum subtraction for sources of different color. verification of performances (sensitivity / seeing) Description of the survey in A Virgo Environmental Survey Tracing Ionised Gas Emission (VESTIGE).
