VERTICO: The Virgo Environment Traced in CO Survey
Abstract
We present the Virgo Environment Traced in CO (VERTICO) survey, a new effort to map 12CO (2–1), 13CO (2–1), and C18O (2–1) in 51 Virgo Cluster galaxies with the Atacama Compact Array, part of the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array. The primary motivation of VERTICO is to understand the physical mechanisms that perturb molecular gas disks, and therefore star formation and galaxy evolution, in dense environments. This first paper …
