The Disruption and Fueling of M33

M. E. Putman, J. E. G. Peek, A. Muratov +7

The disruption of the M33 galaxy is evident from its extended gaseous structure. We present new data from the Galactic Arecibo L-Band Feed Array HI (GALFA-HI) Survey that show the…

Low-Velocity Halo Clouds

J. E. G. Peek, Carl Heiles, M. E. Putman +1

Models that reproduce the observed high-velocity clouds (HVCs) also predict clouds at lower radial velocities that may easily be confused with Galactic disk (|z| < 1 kpc) gas. We d…

LCDM Satellites and HI Companions - The Arecibo ALFA Survey of NGC 2903

J. A. Irwin, G. L. Hoffman, K. Spekkens +11

We have conducted a deep, complete HI survey, using Arecibo/ALFA, of a field centered on the nearby, isolated galaxy, NGC 2903, which is similar to the Milky Way in its properties.…

Mapping Hydrogen in the Galaxy, Galactic Halo, and Local Group with ALFA: The GALFA-HI Survey Starting with TOGS

S. J. Gibson, K. A. Douglas, C. Heiles +4

Radio observations of gas in the Milky Way and Local Group are vital for understanding how galaxies function as systems. The unique sensitivity of Arecibo's 305m dish, coupled with…

Fuel for Galaxy Disks

M. E. Putman, J. Grcevich, J. E. G. Peek

Halo clouds have been found about the three largest galaxies of the Local Group and in the halos of nearby spirals. This suggests they are a relatively generic feature of the galax…

The many streams of the Magellanic Stream

Snezana Stanimirovic, Samantha Hoffman, Carl Heiles +3

We present results from neutral hydrogen (HI) observations of the tip of the Magellanic Stream (MS), obtained with the Arecibo telescope as a part of the on-going survey by the Con…
