| Abstract | Interferometric H I observations and optical surface photometry of two dwarf irregular galaxies in the Virgo cluster are presented. Measurements of the surface density support the postulate of a requisite H I surface density for massive star formation. Relatively large fractional gas masses and normal H I to optical diameter ratios indicate that neither galaxy shows any evidence of the effects of a cluster environment. The mass-to-light ratio for one of these galaxies is larger than expected for the relationship of M/L with morphological type derived by Faber and Gallagher, but not unusual when compared with other studies of dwarf galaxies. |
