We have carefully selected a sample of 60 galaxies that reside in the deepest underdensities of geometrically identified voids within the SDSS. HI imaging of 55 galaxies with the WSRT reveals morphological and kinematic signatures of ongoing interactions and gas accretion. We probe a total volume of 485 Mpc^3 within the voids, with an angular resolution of 8 kpc at an average distance of 85 Mpc. We reach column density sensitivities of 5 x 10^19 cm^-2, corresponding to an HI mass limit of 3 x 10^8 M_sun. We detect HI in 41 galaxies, with total masses ranging from 1.7 x 10^8 to 5.5 x 10^9 M_sun. The upper limits on the 14 non-detections are not inconsistent with their luminosities, given their expected HI mass to light ratios. We find that the void galaxies are generally gas rich, low luminosity, blue disk galaxies, with optical and HI properties that are not unusual for their luminosity and morphology. The sample spans a range of absolute magnitudes (-16.1 > M_r > -20.4) and colors (0.06 < g-r < 0.87), and includes disk and irregular galaxies. We also identify three as early type galaxies, all of which are not detected in HI. All galaxies have stellar masses less than 3 x 10^10 M_sun, and many have kinematic and morphological signs of ongoing gas accretion, suggesting that the void galaxy population is still in the process of assembling. The small scale clustering in the void, within 600 kpc and 200 km/s, is similar to that in higher density regions, and we identify 18 HI rich neighboring galaxies in the voids. Most are within 100 kpc and 100 km/s of the targeted galaxy, and we find no significant population of HI rich low luminosity galaxies filling the voids, contrary to what is predicted by simulations.
The Void Galaxy Survey (VGS) is a multi-wavelength program to study $sim$60 void galaxies. Each has been selected from the deepest interior regions of identified voids in the SDSS redshift survey on the basis of a unique geometric technique, with no
Void galaxies, residing within the deepest underdensities of the Cosmic Web, present an ideal population for the study of galaxy formation and evolution in an environment undisturbed by the complex processes modifying galaxies in clusters and groups,
We analyze photometry from deep B-band images of 59 void galaxies in the Void Galaxy Survey (VGS), together with their near-infrared 3.6$mu$m and 4.5$mu$m Spitzer photometry. The VGS galaxies constitute a sample of void galaxies that were selected by
To better characterize the upper end of the galaxy stellar mass range, the MUSE Most Massive Galaxies (M3G) Survey targeted the most massive galaxies (M$>10^{12}$ M$_{odot}$) found in the densest known clusters of galaxies at $zsim0.046$. The sample
The Carnegie-Irvine Galaxy Survey (CGS) is a long-term program to investigate the photometric and spectroscopic properties of a statistically complete sample of 605 bright (B_T < 12.9 mag), southern (Dec. < 0) galaxies using the facilities at Las Cam
