  1. Migration of Nearby Spirals AGN feedback or Environmental effects? Tom Hughes Supervisors: Luca Cortese, Jonathan Davies astro-ph:0903.3574

  2. Red Blue Wyder et al, 2007 Borch et al, 2006 Migration of galaxies BlueRed What drives the migration?

  3. AGN Feedback ESO/NASA/APEX But not well understood in spirals! Martin et al, 2007

  4. Environmental Effects T. Tal / J. Kenney Chung et al, 2007 H.Crowl

  5. Herschel Reference Survey • 15-25 Mpc • KsTot ≤ 12 mag • b > +55º • AB < 0.2 Total sample of 454 galaxies (171 ETGs + 283 LTGs) Complete in NUV and H band imaging, HI 21cm, and optical spectroscopy ESA/AOES/HST

  6. Hughes & Cortese, MNRAS in press Colour-mass distribution

  7. Hughes & Cortese, MNRAS in press Colour-mass distribution

  8. AGN-hosts and HI deficiency Hughes & Cortese, MNRAS in press Red circles: AGN Cyan circles: SF + AGN Green circles: HI Def > 0.5

  9. High vs. low densities Hughes & Cortese, MNRAS in press Migrating galaxies are mainly gas deficient, cluster spirals

  10. Red colour Low gas-fraction Some star-forming galaxies outside the blue sequence have normal Gas-fraction. No clear HI truncation. VIVA survey WHISP survey Different mechanisms at work?

  11. Summary • AGN feedback-quenching link can’t be assumed from nuclear activity-colour correlation • Migrating galaxies are mainly HI deficient , cluster spirals • Environmental mechanisms appear responsible for driving migration • Still need to understand evolution of red, gas-rich systems astro-ph:0903.3574
