Thick disc molecular gas fraction in NGC 6946
Narendra Nath Patra
Several recent studies reinforce the existence of a thick molecular disc in galaxies along with the dynamically cold thin disc. Assuming a two-component molecular disc, we model th…
HI scale height in spiral galaxies
Narendra Nath Patra
We model the galactic discs of seven nearby large spiral galaxies as three-component systems consist of stars, molecular gas, and atomic gas in vertical hydrostatic equilibrium. We…
The All-Sky SignAl Short-Spacing INterferometer (ASSASSIN) I: Global sky measurements with the Engineering Development Array-2
B. McKinley, C. M. Trott, M. Sokolowski +5
Aiming to fill a crucial gap in our observational knowledge of the early Universe, experiments around the world continue to attempt to verify the claimed detection of the redshifte…
New HI observations of KK 69. Is KK 69 a dwarf galaxy in transition?
J. Saponara, B. S. Koribalski, N. N. Patra +1
We present new HI data of the dwarf galaxy KK 69, obtained with the Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope (GMRT) with a signal-to-noise ratio that almost double previous observations. We…
HI scale height in dwarf galaxies
Narendra Nath Patra
Assuming a vertical hydrostatic equilibrium in the baryonic discs, joint Poisson's-Boltzmann equation was set up and solved numerically in a sample of 23 nearby dwarf galaxies from…
Theoretical modelling of two-component molecular discs in spiral galaxies
Narendra Nath Patra
As recent observations of the molecular discs in spiral galaxies point to the existence of a diffuse, low-density thick molecular disc along with the prominent thin one, we investi…
Molecular scale height in spiral galaxies
Narendra Nath Patra
Having to have low thermal energy, the molecular gas in galaxies is expected to settle in a thin disc near the midplane. However, contradicting this understanding, recent studies h…
Gas-dust correlations in nearby galaxies: a case study of NGC 3184 and NGC 7793
Gautam Saikia, Narendra Nath Patra, Nirupam Roy +1
The study of gas-dust interactions occurring in the interstellar medium of a galaxy is essential for understanding various physical processes taking place within it. A comparison o…
