The Halpha emission of NGC 4569.Survey
VESTIGE will be a complete blind survey of the Virgo cluster within
one virial radius from M87 and M49, the same sky region mapped by
NGVS (104 deg^2; green footprint in Figure). Outside the virial
radius, the survey will consist of 97 pointings to map virtually all
the galaxies of the EVCC in the sky region 12h < RA(2000) < 13h,
0deg < DEC < 20deg (red boxes in Figure). The black contours
indicate the X-ray emission of the diffuse gas trapped within the
potential well of the cluster obtained by Rosat (Boehringer et al.
1994), the large red dotted circles the different substructures of
the cluster, while the red, green, and blue empty circles early-type
galaxies, transition type galaxies, and star forming systems
respectively, as defined in
Boselli et al. (2014).
VESTIGE coverage in march 2021. The red contours indicate the
regions where full depth has been reached. Grey levels show the
different sensitivity reached within the mapped region.
