First Results from THINGS: The HI Nearby Galaxy Survey
(Astronomical Society of the Pacific, 2005)
We describe The HI Nearby Galaxy Survey (THINGS), the largest program ever undertaken at the VLA to perform 21-cm HI observations of the highest quality (» 700, · 5 km s¡1 resolution) of nearby galaxies. The goal of THINGS ...
Bloated Dwarfs: The Thickness of the HI Disks in Irregular Galaxies
(Astronomical Society of the Pacific, 2002)
Somewhat counterintuitively, the gas disks of (dwarf) irregular galaxies, such as the LMC, are thicker than those of normal disk galaxies, both in relative as well as in absolute terms. In retrospect, this is easily ...
H I and CO Emission in Blue Compact Dwarfs: Haro 2 and Haro 4/26
(Astronomical Society of the Pacific, 2002)
We present VLA HI imaging of two actively star-forming dwarf galaxies, Haro 2 and Haro 4, and of the spiral galaxy NGC 3510 (Haro 26), some 22' SW of Haro 4 (8.5kpc). We also present a map of the CO(1-0) distribution of ...
Aperture Synthesis Spectral Line Imaging: Exploring the Third Dimension (Invited Talk)
(Astronomical Society of the Pacific, 2002)
Radio astronomers are in a privileged position as compared to optical and near-IR observers because almost from the beginning of radioastronomical observations it proved possible to obtain spectral information at velocity ...
