The ultra-deep HI radial profiles of late-type galaxies from MHONGOOSE

S. Veronese, W. J. G. de Blok, E. Brinks +4

Galaxy discs have a finite extent, yet how and where their neutral atomic hydrogen (HI) components end is not fully understood. The existence of a break in the HI disc at column de…

HI absorption in MHONGOOSE -- Spin temperatures and cold neutral medium in nearby disk galaxies

W. J. G. de Blok, F. M. Maccagni, L. Chemin +7

Combined HI emission-absorption studies constrain the spin temperature and phase structure of the neutral atomic hydrogen interstellar medium (ISM), but have largely been limited t…

The inside-out quenching of the MHONGOOSE galaxy NGC 1371

S. Veronese, W. J. G. de Blok, F. Fraternali +5

We present the deepest 21-cm spectral line and 1.4 GHz broad-band continuum observations of nearby early-type spiral galaxy NGC 1371 as part of the MeerKAT HI Observations of Nearb…

Investigating the HI distribution and kinematics of ESO444-G084 and [KKS2000]23: New insights from the MHONGOOSE survey

Brenda Namumba, Roger Ianjamasimanana, Bärbel Koribalski +25

We present the HI distribution, kinematics, mass modeling, and disk stability of the dwarf irregular galaxies ESO444-G084 and [KKS2000]23 using high-resolution, high-sensitivity MH…

HI within and around observed and simulated galaxy discs -- Comparing MeerKAT observations with mock data from TNG50 and FIRE-2

A. Marasco, W. J. G. de Blok, F. M. Maccagni +12

Atomic hydrogen (HI) is an ideal tracer of gas flows in and around galaxies, and it is uniquely observable in the nearby Universe. Here we make use of wide-field (~1 square degree)…

Uncovering Extraplanar Gas in UGCA 250 with the Ultra-deep MHONGOOSE Survey

Sushma Kurapati, D. J. Pisano, W. J. G. de Blok +28

We use the neutral atomic hydrogen (HI) observations of the edge-on galaxy UGCA 250, taken as part of the MeerKAT HI Observations of Nearby Galactic Objects - Observing Southern Em…
