What is the True HI Gas Content in Massive Quiescent Galaxies in the Local Universe?

Xiao Li, Cheng Li, Cheng Cheng +3

While massive quiescent galaxies are known to be poor in atomic hydrogen (HI), their true HI content remains poorly constrained due to the limited sensitivity and morphological bia…
