The effect of the group environment on the HI content of nearby galaxies

While it has become clear that there is a strong connection between galaxies and their environment, we are still struggling to understand how nurture shapes galaxy evolution, and which are the dominant physical mechanisms involved. Studies of HI in and around galaxies hold the key to reveal the nature and extent of environmental effects, as demonstrated by surveys of galaxy clusters such as Virgo. However, what happens to the gas in the more common group environment is still unclear, because we still lack an HI survey able to probe the gas-poor regime for a statistically significant sample of galaxies in groups. We propose to use Arecibo to measure the HI content of about 200 galaxies in large groups down to the levels of HI depletion observed in Virgo. This survey is uniquely designed to provide the reference sample for studies of gas in group galaxies.
