All HI galaxies lie in the blue sequence in a UV-optical CM diagram. However not all blue sequence galaxies are detected in HI: ~15-20% of galaxies in the blue sequence are HI deficient.


Blue HI poor galaxies

All these objects are still forming stars (e.g. detected in H), but they show recent SF only in the inner part of their disk. In the outer parts of the stellar disk, SF has already ended.

All within 1 deg from the cluster centre: environmental effects?


Transition Galaxies
Progeny of the blue HI deficient objects?

In less than 1 Gyr these objects will migrate (at least) towards the transition region between the blue and the red sequence.

The few A1367 galaxies in the transition region are in fact cluster spirals with low residual SF activity
(But more statistic needed)


Can we test this scenario elsewhere?
Coma: no blind HI data yet, but wide UV coverage and SDSS spectroscopy! We can start looking into the properties of galaxies in the transition region. NGC4921 Brightest Spiral in Coma
(e.g. Bravo-Alfaro et al. 2001)

well known HI deficient-ram pressure stripped galaxy

Transition galaxies have strong Balmer lines in absorption: quenched SF?

By combining HI and UV data we can select galaxies at different stages of their transition between the blue and the red sequence! From Healthy Spirals to HI blue deficient and transition galaxies.


UV dust correction is not straightforward!
All methods calibrated on TIR/FUV vs. A(FUV) relation for starburst galaxies :
(e.g. Gordon et al. 2000, Buat et al. 2005)

But...the TIR/FUV vs. A(FUV) depends strongly from the specific SFR!!!
(e.g. Kong et al. 2004)

b>1 b~0.5

b~0.06

b~0.02 b<0.01

Using the TIR/FUV vs. A(FUV) calibrated on SF galaxies we systematically overestimate A(FUV) by up to 1-2 mag for transition objects!

Summary
In HI the large scale structure is significantly different than in optical. HI+UV+optical = powerful tool for selection galaxies at different stages of their evolution. A correct estimate of UV dust attenuation is crucial for the interpretation of the UV-opt CM diagram.


The future
Short time-scale Increase the size of our sample and compare the properties of galaxies in different environments. Quantify the timescales of the transformation by combining data and models. Long time-scale Include other ISM components playing a role in the star forming cycle: e.g. dust. In ~1 year study dust will become possible thanks to Herschel (100-600 m: i.e. ALL the dust SED): Synergies between Herschel and current/future HI projects: step forwards in understanding galaxy evolution.
