Gaseous content of galaxies inside groups. (1989). Revista Mexicana De Astronomía Y Astrofísica, 17(1), 127-135. https://astronomia.unam.mx/journals/rmxaa/article/view/1989rmxaa..17..127c

Abstract

The authors have analysed the gaseous content of a sample constituted of 84 Sb and 95 Sc galaxies inside groups. After correcting for the luminosity effect (significant in the case of Sc's) no gas deficiency was found for those galaxies in spite of a span of about 2 orders of magnitude in the galaxy density. Any intergalactic gas present in the considered groups must have densities smaller than 3 × 10-4cm-3.
