Box 208101, New Haven, CT 06520-8101, USA; [email protected] Received 2014 March 10; accepted 2014 November 7; published 2014 December 24 ABSTRACT We present the stellar and ionized gas kinematics of 13 bright peculiar Virgo cluster galaxies observed with the DensePak Integral Field Unit at the WIYN 3.5 m telescope in order to look for kinematic evidence that these galaxies have experienced gravitational interactions or gas stripping. Two-dimensional maps of the stellar velocity V, stellar velocity dispersion σ, and the ionized gas velocity (Hβ and/or [O iii]) are presented for the galaxies in the sample. The stellar rotation curves and velocity dispersion profiles are determined for 13 galaxies, and the ionized gas rotation curves are determined for 6 galaxies. Misalignments between the optical and kinematical major axes are found in several galaxies. While in some cases this is due to a bar, in other cases it seems to be associated with gravitational interaction or ongoing ram pressure stripping. -

Kenney Department of Astronomy, Yale University, New Haven, CT 06520 Draft version October 23, 2018 ABSTRACT We present an analysis of the stellar populations of the gas-stripped outer disks of ten Virgo Clus- ter spiral galaxies, utilizing SparsePak integral field spectroscopy on the WIYN 3.5m telescope and GALEX UV photometry. The galaxies in our sample show evidence for being gas-stripped spiral galaxies, with star formation within a truncation radius, and a passive population beyond the trun- cation radius. We find that all of the galaxies with spatially truncated star formation have outer disk stellar populations consistent with star formation ending within the last 500 Myr. The synthe- sis of optical spectroscopy and GALEX observations demonstrate that star formation was relatively constant until the quenching time, after which the galaxies passively evolved. Large starbursts at the time of quenching are excluded for all galaxies, but there is evidence of a modest starburst in at least one galaxy. For approximately half of our galaxies, the timescales derived from our observations are consistent with galaxies being stripped in or near the cluster core, where simple ram-pressure estimates can explain the observed stripping. However, the other half of our sample galaxies were clearly stripped outside the cluster core. Such galaxies provide evidence that the intra-cluster medium is not static and smooth. For three of the most recently stripped galaxies, there are estimates for the stripping timescales from detailed gas stripping simulations. -

Astronomy & Astrophysics manuscript no. (will be inserted by hand later) An Hα survey aiming at the detection of extraplanar diffuse ionized gas in halos of edge–on spiral galaxies ? II. The Hα survey atlas and catalog J. Rossa ??1,2 and R.–J. Dettmar1 1 Astronomisches Institut, Ruhr–Universit¨at Bochum, D–44780 Bochum, Germany e-mail: [email protected], [email protected] 2 Space Telescope Science Institute, 3700 San Martin Drive, Baltimore, MD 21218, U.S.A. (present address) Received 14 February 2003 / Accepted 6 May 2003 Abstract. In this second paper on the investigation of extraplanar diffuse ionized gas in nearby edge–on spiral galaxies we present the actual results of the individual galaxies of our Hα imaging survey. A grand total of 74 galaxies have been studied, including the 9 galaxies of a recently studied sub–sample (Rossa & Dettmar 2000). 40.5% of all studied galaxies reveal extraplanar diffuse ionized gas, whereas in 59.5% of the survey galaxies no extraplanar diffuse ionized gas could be detected. The average distances of this extended emission above the galactic midplane range from 1–2 kpc, while individual filaments in a few galaxies reach distances of up to |z| ∼ 6 kpc. In several cases a pervasive layer of ionized gas was detected, similar to the Reynolds layer in our Milky Way, while other galaxies reveal only extended emission locally. The morphology of the diffuse ionized gas is discussed for each galaxy and is compared with observations of other important ISM constituents in the context of the disk–halo connection, in those cases where published results were available.
