Scientific paper

Studies of the Virgo cluster spiral galaxies have shown them to have the same mid-infrared and far-infrared properties as redshift-limited samples of field galaxies. This is true even of the galaxies in the core of the cluster which have been stripped of neutral hydrogen. These findings appear to disagree with current models of the far-infrared emission from galaxies which conclude that it is dominated by disk emission from cold H I-associated dust. As the molecular content of the Virgo galaxies is normal, it is suggested that the far-infrared flux from spirals is in fact dominated by emission from dust associated with the more centrally concentrated molecular gas.
