Deep HI observations of cold gas inflow and outflow

W. J. G. de Blok, D. B. Fisher, K. Tachihara +8

A major question in galaxy evolution is how galaxies acquire sufficient gas to sustain their star formation rates. HI observations with high angular resolution and sensitivity to v…

A Young GMC Formed at the Interface of Two Colliding Supershells: Observations Meet Simulations

J. R. Dawson, E. Ntormousi, Y. Fukui +2

Dense, star-forming gas is believed to form at the stagnation points of large-scale ISM flows, but observational examples of this process in action are rare. We here present a gian…

Investigation of Dense Gas Towards Relativistic Outflow Sources

J. Hawkes, G. Rowell, B. Dawson +10

We probe the interstellar medium towards the objects Circinus X-1, a low-mass X-ray binary with relativistic jets; and the highly energetic Westerlund 2 stellar cluster, which is l…

Optically thick HI dominant in the local interstellar medium; an alternative interpretation to "dark gas"

Y. Fukui, K. Torii, T. Onishi +5

Dark gas in the interstellar medium (ISM) is believed to not be detectable either in CO or Hi radio emission, but it is detected by other means including gamma-rays, dust emission…
