- Description:
- Low-luminosity radio-loud active galactic nuclei (AGN) are of importance in studies concerning feedback from radio AGN since a dominant fraction of AGN belong to this class. We report high-resolution Very Large Array (VLA) and European VLBI Network (EVN) observations of HI 21cm absorption from a young, compact steep-spectrum radio source, B2 0258+35, nested in the early-type galaxy NGC 1167, which contains a 160kpc HI disc. Our VLA and EVN HI absorption observations, modelling, and comparison with molecular gas data suggest that the cold gas in the centre of NGC 1167 is very turbulent (with a velocity dispersion of ~90km/s) and that this turbulence is induced by the interaction of the jets with the interstellar medium (ISM). Furthermore, the ionised gas in the galaxy shows evidence of shock heating at a few kpc from the radio source. These findings support the results from numerical simulations of radio jets expanding into a clumpy gas disc, which predict that the radio jets in this case percolate through the gas disc and drive shocks into the ISM at distances much larger than their physical extent. These results expand the number of low-luminosity radio sources found to impact the surrounding medium, thereby highlighting the possible relevance of these AGN for feedback.

- Description:
- Massive outflows of neutral atomic hydrogen (HI) have been observed in absorption in a number of radio galaxies and are considered a signature of active galactic nucleus (AGN) feedback. These outflows on kiloparsec scales have not been investigated in great detail as they require high-angular-resolution observations to be spatially resolved. In some radio AGN, they are likely to be the result of the radio jets interacting with the interstellar medium. We have used the global very-long-baseline-interferometry (VLBI) array to map the HI outflow in a small sample of young and restarted radio galaxies that we previously observed with the Very Large Array (VLA) and the Westerbork Synthesis Radio Telescope (WSRT) at a lower resolution. Here we report on our findings for 4C 52.37 and 3C 293 and we discuss the sample including the previously published 4C 12.50 and 3C 236. For 4C 52.37, we present the first ever HI VLBI observations, which recovered the majority of the outflowing HI gas in the form of clouds toward the central 100pc of the AGN. The clouds are blueshifted by up to ~600km/s with respect to the systemic velocity. 3C 293 is largely resolved out in our VLBI observation, but toward the VLBI core we detect some outflowing HI gas blueshifted with respect to the systemic velocity by up to ~300km/s. We also find indications of outflowing gas toward the other parts of the western lobe suggesting that the HI outflow is extended. Overall, we find that the fraction of HI gas recovered by our VLBI observations varies significantly within our sample, ranging from complete (4C 12.50) to marginal (3C 293). However, in all cases we find evidence for a clumpy structure of both the outflowing and the quiescent gas, consistent with predictions from numerical simulations. All the outflows include at least a component of relatively compact clouds with masses in the range of 10^4^-10^5^M_{sun}_. The outflowing clouds are often already observed at a few tens of parsecs (in projection) from the core. We find indications that the HI outflow might have a diffuse component, especially in larger sources. Our results support the interpretation that we observe these AGNs at different stages in the evolution of the interaction between the jet and the interstellar medium and this is reflected in the properties of the outflowing gas as predicted by numerical simulations.

- Description:
- 21cm neutral hydrogen interferometric survey of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) combined with the Parkes multibeam HI single-dish survey (2003MNRAS.339...87S) clearly shows that the HI gas is distributed in the form of clumps or clouds. The HI clouds and clumps have been identified using a thresholding method with three separate brightness temperature thresholds (T_b_). Each catalog of HI cloud candidates shows a power-law relationship between the sizes and the velocity dispersions of the clouds roughly following the Larson law scaling {sigma}_v_{prop.to}R^0.5^, with steeper indices associated with dynamically hot regions. The clouds in each catalog have roughly constant virial parameters as a function of mass, suggesting that the clouds are all in roughly the same dynamical state, but the values of the virial parameter are significantly larger than unity, showing that turbulent motions dominate gravity in these clouds. The mass distribution of the clouds is a power law with differential indices between -1.6 and -2.0 for the three catalogs. In contrast, the distribution of mean surface densities is a lognormal distribution.

- Description:
- A catalogue is presented of galaxies having large-scale observations in the HI line. This catalogue collects from the literature the information that characterizes the observations in the 21-cm line and the way that these data were presented by means of maps, graphics and tables, for showing the distribution and kinematics of the gas. It contains furthermore a measure of the HI extension that is detected at the level of the maximum sensitivity reached in the observations. This catalogue is intended as a guide for references on the HI maps published in the literature from 1953 to 1995 and is the basis for the analysis of the data presented in Paper II (Cat. <J/A+AS/131/77>).

- Description:
- We use some of the maps of the catalogue presented in Paper I (Cat. <J/A+AS/131/73>) to provide some evidence for global conditions that must be fulfilled by the galaxies to have extended hydrogen. For this purpose, we tried to find possible connections between the HI gas extension and other properties of the galaxies (morphological type, surface brightness, gas density, etc.). With isophotal hydrogen diameters of a large sample, we could observe that optically smaller galaxies seem to have greater relative HI extensions. By means of the relation with the apparent HI surface density, we found an expression that should provide a rough estimate of the gas extension. With respect to the dependence on morphological type, we could not find any significant correlation either for the real HI surface density or the relative gas extension. Nevertheless, whereas for spiral and irregular galaxies the real HI surface density exhibits a broad range of values, the values are rather lower for elliptical and S0 galaxies.

- Description:
- H{alpha} observations centred on galaxies selected from the Hi Parkes All-Sky Survey (HiPASS) typically show one and sometimes two star-forming galaxies within the ~15arcmin beam of the Parkes 64m HI detections. In our Survey for Ionization in Neutral Gas Galaxies (SINGG) we found 15 cases of HiPASS sources containing four or more emission line galaxies (ELGs). We name these fields Choir groups. In the most extreme case, we found a field with at least nine ELGs. In this paper, we present a catalogue of Choir group members in the context of the wider SINGG sample. The dwarf galaxies in the Choir groups would not be individually detectable in HiPASS at the observed distances if they were isolated, but are detected in SINGG narrow-band imaging due to their membership of groups with sufficiently large total HI mass. The ELGs in these groups are similar to the wider SINGG sample in terms of size, H{alpha} equivalent width and surface brightness. Eight of these groups have two large spiral galaxies with several dwarf galaxies and may be thought of as morphological analogues of the Local Group. However, on average our groups are not significantly Hi deficient, suggesting that they are at an early stage of assembly, and more like the M81 group. The Choir groups are very compact at typically only 190kpc in projected distance between the two brightest members. They are very similar to SINGG fields in terms of star formation efficiency (SFE; the ratio of star formation rate to HI mass), showing an increasing trend in SFE with stellar mass.

- Description:
- Asymmetries in atomic hydrogen (HI) in galaxies are often caused by the interaction with close companions, making isolated galaxies an ideal framework to study secular evolution. The AMIGA project has demonstrated that isolated galaxies show the lowest level of asymmetry in their HI integrated profiles compared to even field galaxies, yet some present significant asymmetries. CIG 96 (NGC 864) is a representative case reaching a 16% level. Our aim is to investigate the HI asymmetries of the spiral galaxy CIG 96 and what processes have triggered the star-forming regions observed in the XUV pseudo-ring. We performed deep optical observations at CAHA1.23m, CAHA2.2m and VST (OmegaCAM wide-field camera) telescopes. We reach surface brightness (SB) limits of {mu}_CAHA2.2m_=27.5mag/arcsec^2^ (Cousins R) and {mu}_VST_=28.7mag/arcsec^2^ (SDSS r) that show the XUV pseudo-ring of the galaxy in detail. Additionally, a wavelet filtering of the HI data cube from our deep observations with VLA/EVLA telescope allowed us to reach a column density of N_HI_=8.9x10^18^cm^-2^ (5{sigma}) (28"x28" beam), lower than in any isolated galaxy. We confirm that the HI of CIG 96 extends farther than 4xr_25_ in all directions. Furthermore, we detect for the first time two gaseous structures (~10^6^M_{sun}_) in the outskirts. The SDSS g-r colour index image from CAHA1.23m shows extremely blue colours in certain regions of the pseudo-ring where N_HI_>8.5x10^20^cm^-2^, whereas the rest show red colours. Galactic cirrus contaminate the field, setting an unavoidable detection limit at 28.5mag/arcsec^2^ (SDSS r). At the current SB and NHI levels, we detect no stellar link within 1{deg}x1{deg} or gaseous link within 40'x40' between CIG 96 and any companion. The isolation criteria rule out interactions with other similar-sized galaxies for at least 2.7Gyr. Using existing stellar evolution models, the age of the pseudo-ring is estimated at 1Gyr or older. Undetected previously accreted companions and cold gas accretion remain as the main hypothesis to explain the optical pseudo-ring and HI features of CIG 96.

- Description:
- HI kinematic asymmetries are common in late-type galaxies irrespective of environment, although the amplitudes are strikingly low in isolated galaxies. As part of our studies of the HI morphology and kinematics in isolated late-type galaxies we have chosen several very isolated galaxies from the AMIGA sample for HI mapping. We present here the results of HI mapping of CIG 340 (IC 2487) which was selected because its integrated HI spectrum has a very symmetric profile (A_flux_=1.03+/-0.02). Optical images of the galaxy hinted at a warped disk in contrast to the symmetric integrated HI spectrum profile. Our aim is to determine the extent to which the optical asymmetry is reflected in the resolved HI morphology and kinematics. Resolved 21-cm HI line mapping has been carried out using the Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope (GMRT). The HI morphology and kinematics from this mapping together with other multi-wavelength data have been used to study the relationship between the HI and stellar components of CIG 340.

- Description:
- This paper presents the first results of a 21cm survey of newly discovered optically selected galaxies behind the Milky Way. We present 40 radial velocities of the new galaxies and 15 velocities of UGC and MCG galaxies in a region where the well known Pisces-Perseus-Supercluster (PPScl) is supposed to be veiled by galactic extinction (80deg<~l<~110deg). Twenty-four galaxies have radial velocities between 4000 and 6000 km/s that fit to the values usually accepted for the PPScl. We could pursue this supercluster at least to b=-5 deg around l=90 deg.

- Description:
- A compilation of H I line fluxes, systemic velocities and linewidths is presented for 840 detected galaxies, mostly in the vicinities of 30 nearby rich clusters out to a redshift of z~0.04, specifically for use in applications of the Tully-Fisher distance method. New 21 cm H I line profiles have been obtained for ~500 galaxies in 27 Abell clusters visible from Arecibo. Upper limits are also presented for 246 galaxies for which H I emission was not detected. In order to provide a homogeneous linewidth determination optimized for Tully-Fisher studies, these new data are supplemented by the reanalysis of previously published spectra obtained both at Arecibo and Green Bank that are available in a digital archive. Corrections for instrumental broadening, smoothing, signal-to-noise and profile shape are applied, and an estimate of the error on the width is given. When corrected for turbulent broadening and viewing angle, the corrected velocity widths presented here will provide the appropriate line width parameter needed to derive distances via the Tully-Fisher relation.
