The HI Halo of NGC 891

Abstract

Neutral hydrogen observations of the nearby, edge-on spiral galaxy NGC 891 reveal the presence of an HI halo extending up to at least 5 kpc from the plane. This halo gas appears to rotate 25 to 100 km/s more slowly than the gas in the plane. If this velocity difference is due to the gradient in the gravitational potential, then it may serve to discriminate between disk and spheroidal mass models. The classic picture of a large outer flare in the HI layer of NGC 891 may no longer be valid. A correlation is seen between the distributions of HI, Halpha and radio continuum emission, which supports, in accordance with galactic fountain models, the picture of a substantial disk-halo circulation related to the star formation activity in the disk of NGC 891. There is now also clear evidence for the presence of a rapidly rotating (v_rot ~ 230 km/s) disk or ring of HI in the central part of NGC 891.
