Scientific paper

The radio and optical properties of Virgo spirals are investigated. The results suggest that the ratio of the radio continuum-to-optical luminosity of spirals is related to their color indices and their H-alpha emission strengths. It is also suggested that H I deficient spirals tend to be weaker radio continuum emitters. The analysis supports the previous theory that the main sources of relativistic electrons giving rise to nonthermal radio emission in spirals is in the young stellar population.
