Abstract

Simple models of chemical and spectro-photometric evolution of galaxies allow to study the transformation of galaxies under the influence of e.g. ram pressure in the Virgo cluster (other interactions can also be modeled). With the new data of the large surveys of Virgo in progress (e.g. NGVS in the optical, GUViCS in the UV), we will be able to extend this type of analysis to a large number of galaxies and get a better understanding of the transformation of galaxies in the high density environment.
