Abstract
Far infrared luminosity, neutral hydrogen mass and blue luminosity are correlated in galaxies, despite the presence of strong selection effe cts, which. increasingly weaken the trend at large distances. Barred g alaxies have a larger HI mass (and thus FIR luminosity) than ordinary ones. FIR-bright galaxies of type Sb and later show a definite relativ e HI deficiency with respect to non-FIR galaxies.
