We have searched for dust in an optical sample of 910 Early-Type Galaxies (ETG) in the Virgo cluster (447 of which are optically complete at m_pg <= 18.0), extending also to the dwarf ETG, using Herschel images at 100, 160, 250, 350 and 500 microns. Dust was found in 52 ETG (46 are in the optically complete sample), including M87 and another 3 ETG with strong synchrotron emisssion. Dust is detected in 17% of ellipticals, 41% of lenticulars, and in about 4% of dwarf ETG. The dust-to-stars mass ratio increases with decreasing optical luminosity, and for some dwarf ETG reaches values similar to those of the dusty late-type galaxies. Slowly rotating ETG are more likely to contain dust than fast rotating ones. Only 8 ETG have both dust and HI, while 39 have only dust and 8 have only HI, surprisingly showing that only rarely dust and HI survive together. ETG with dust appear to be concentrated in the densest regions of the cluster, while those with HI tend to be at the periphery. ETG with an X-ray active SMBH are more likely to have dust and vice versa the dusty ETG are more likely to have an active SMBH.
Aims. We study the dust content of a large optical input sample of 910 early-type galaxies (ETG) in the Virgo cluster, extending also to the dwarf ETG, and examine the results in relation with those on the other cold ISM components. Methods. We searc
Passive early-type galaxies (ETGs) provide an ideal laboratory for studying the interplay between dust formation around evolved stars and its subsequent destruction in a hot gas. Using Spitzer-IRS and Herschel data we compare the dust production rate
We use dust scaling relations to investigate the hypothesis that Virgo cluster transition-type dwarfs are infalling star-forming field galaxies, which is argued based on their optical features (e.g. disks, spiral arms, bars) and kinematic properties
We present the results of a 8.4 GHz Very Large Array radio survey of early-type galaxies extracted from the ACS Virgo Cluster Survey. The aim of this survey is to investigate the origin of radio emission in early-type galaxies and its link with the h
Using Herschel data from the Open Time Key Project the Herschel Virgo Cluster Survey (HeViCS), we investigated the relationship between the metallicity gradients expressed by metal abundances in the gas phase as traced by the chemical composition of
