HI synthesis observations of the blue compact dwarf NGC 1705

E. C. Elson, W. J. G. de Blok, R. C. Kraan-Korteweg

Australia Telescope Compact Array HI-line observations of the nearby dwarf galaxy NGC 1705 are presented. The data are used to trace the gravitational potential of the galaxy out t…

What is Driving the HI Velocity Dispersion?

D. Tamburro, H. -W. Rix, A. K. Leroy +5

We explore what dominant physical mechanism sets the kinetic energy contained in neutral, atomic (HI) gas. We compare the HI line widths predicted from turbulence driven by superno…

High-Resolution Rotation Curves and Galaxy Mass Models from THINGS

W. J. G. de Blok, F. Walter, E. Brinks +3

We present rotation curves of 19 galaxies from THINGS, The HI Nearby Galaxy Survey. The high spatial and velocity resolution of THINGS make these the highest quality HI rotation cu…

High Resolution Optical Velocity Fields of 11 Low Surface Brightness Galaxies

Rachel Kuzio de Naray, Stacy S. McGaugh, W. J. G. de Blok +1

We present high resolution two-dimensional velocity fields from integral field spectroscopy along with derived rotation curves for eleven low surface brightness galaxies. We fit NF…

A Limit on the Cosmological Mass Density and Power Spectrum from the Rotation Curves of Low Surface Brightness Galaxies

S. McGaugh, M. Barker, E. de Blok

The concentrations of the cuspy dark matter halos predicted by simulations of cold dark matter are related to the cosmology in which the halos form. Observational constraints on ha…

Star formation and the interstellar medium in low surface brightness galaxies. II. Deep CO observations of low surface brightness disk galaxies

W. J. G. de Blok, J. M. van der Hulst

We present deep, pointed CO() observations of three late-type LSB galaxies. The beam-size was small enough that we could probe different environments (\HI maximum, \H…
