Sample

The MAUVE sample consists of 40 late-type galaxies in the Virgo Cluster targeted with the MUSE instrument on ESO's VLT and with ALMA in Band 6. Sample selection and the images of the 37 galaxies targeted by the MUSE program are shown below. MUSE pointings are overlaid in cyan (or orange for archival data) on Sloan Digital Sky Survey optical images, with CO(2–1) emission contours from the lower-resolution VERTICO survey tracing molecular gas.



The 40 galaxies targeted by MAUVE (magenta circles). For reference, the star-forming main sequence from xCOLD GASS is shown as a shaded blue region. MAUVE will significantly improve upon current samples and explain the causes for the large spread of depletion times compared to local central galaxies (here represented by xCOLD GASS).
