AlFoCS + F3D II: unexpectedly low gas-to-dust ratios in the Fornax
  galaxy cluster
  We combine observations from ALMA, ATCA, MUSE, andHerschel to study
gas-to-dust ratios in 15 Fornax cluster galaxies detected in the FIR/sub-mm by
Herschel and observed by ALMA as part of the ALMA Fornax Cluster Survey
(AlFoCS). The sample spans a stellar mass range of 8.3 $\leq$ log (M$_*$ /
M$_\odot$) $\leq$ 11.16, and a variety of morphological types. We use gas-phase
metallicities derived from MUSE observations (from the Fornax3D survey) to
study these ratios as a function of metallicity, and to study dust-to-metal
ratios, in a sub-sample of nine galaxies. We find that gas-to-dust ratios in
Fornax galaxies are systematically lower than those in field galaxies at fixed
stellar mass/metallicity. This implies that a relatively large fraction of the
metals in these Fornax systems is locked up in dust, which is possibly due to
altered chemical evolution as a result of the dense environment. The low ratios
are not only driven by HI deficiencies, but H$_2$-to-dust ratios are also
significantly decreased. This is different in the Virgo cluster, where low
gas-to-dust ratios inside the virial radius are driven by low HI-to-dust
ratios, while H$_2$-to-dust ratios are increased. Resolved observations of
NGC1436 show a radial increase in H$_2$-to-dust ratio, and show that low ratios
are present throughout the disc. We propose various explanations for the low
H$_2$-to-dust ratios in the Fornax cluster, including the more efficient
stripping of H$_2$ compared to dust, more efficient enrichment of dust in the
star formation process, and altered ISM physics in the cluster environment.
