- Description:
- Low surface brightness galaxies (LSBGs) are defined as galaxies that are fainter than dark night sky and are important for studying our universe. Particularly, edge-on galaxies are useful for the study of rotational velocity and dynamical properties of galaxies. Hence here we focus on searching for edge-on LSBGs. In order to find these edge-on dim galaxies, a series of effects caused by inclination, including the surface brightness profile, internal extinction, and scale length, have been corrected. In this work, we present a catalog of 281 edge-on LSBG candidates, which are selected from the crossmatch between Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 7 and the 40% ALFALFA catalog. We also present the properties of these edge-on LSBG candidates including the absolute magnitude, central surface brightness, B-V color, scale length, and relative thickness. Our result suggests that the correction of inclination effects is very important for obtaining a complete sample of LSBGs.

- Description:
- A fly-by interaction has been suggested to be one of the major explanations for enhanced star formation in blue compact dwarf (BCD) galaxies, yet no direct evidence for this scenario has been found to date. In the HI Parkes all-sky survey (HIPASS), ESO 435-IG 020 and ESO 435-G 016, a BCD pair were found in a common, extended gas envelope of atomic hydrogen, providing an ideal case to test the hypothesis that the starburst in BCDs can be indeed triggered by a fly-by interaction. Using high-resolution data from the Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA), we investigated HI properties and the spectral energy distribution (SED) of the BCD pair to study their interaction and star formation histories. The high-resolution HI data of both BCDs reveal a number of peculiarities, which are suggestive of tidal perturbation. Meanwhile, 40% of the HIPASS flux is not accounted for in the ATCA observations with no HI gas bridge found between the two BCDs. Intriguingly, in the residual of the HIPASS and the ATCA data, ~10% of the missing flux appears to be located between the two BCDs. While the SED-based age of the most dominant young stellar population is old enough to have originated from the interaction with any neighbors (including the other of the two BCDs), the most recent star formation activity traced by strong H{alpha} emission in ESO 435-IG 020 and the shear motion of gas in ESO 435-G 016, suggest a more recent or current tidal interaction. Based on these and the residual emission between the HIPASS and the ATCA data, we propose an interaction between the two BCDs as the origin of their recently enhanced star formation activity. The shear motion on the gas disk, potentially with re-accretion of the stripped gas, could be responsible for the active star formation in this BCD pair.

- Description:
- The relationships between atomic and molecular hydrogen and dust of various sizes in extragalactic star-forming regions are considered, based on observational data from the Spitzer and Herschel infrared space telescopes, the Very Large Array (atomic hydrogen emission) and IRAM (CO emission). The source sample consists of approximately 300 star-forming regions in 11 nearby galaxies. Aperture photometry has been applied to measure the fluxes in eight infrared bands (3.6, 4.5, 5.8, 8, 24, 70, 100, and 160um), the atomic hydrogen 21 cm line, and CO (2-1) line. The parameters of the dust in the starforming regions were determined via synthetic-spectra fitting, such as the total dust mass, the fraction of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), etc. Comparison of the observed fluxes with the measured parameters shows that the relationships between atomic hydrogen, molecular hydrogen, and dust are different in low- and high-metallicity regions. Low-metallicity regions contain more atomic gas, but less molecular gas and dust, including PAHs. The mass of dust constitutes about 1% of the mass of molecular gas in all regions considered. Fluxes produced by atomic and molecular gas do not correlate with the parameters of the stellar radiation, whereas the dust fluxes grow with increasing mean intensity of stellar radiation and the fraction of enhanced stellar radiation. The ratio of the fluxes at 8 and 24um, which characterizes the PAH content, decreases with increasing intensity of the stellar radiation, possibly indicating evolutionary variations of the PAH content. The results confirm that the contribution of the 24um emission to the total IR luminosity of extragalactic star-forming regions does not depend on the metallicity.

- Description:
- We have selected a sample of 41 extremely isolated galaxies (EIGs) from the local Universe using both optical and HI Arecibo Legacy Fast ALFA survey redshifts. Narrow-band H{alpha} and wide-band imaging along with public data were used to derive star formation rates (SFRs), star formation histories and morphological classifications for the EIGs. We have found that the extreme isolation of the EIGs does not affect considerably their star formation compared to field galaxies. EIGs are typically 'blue cloud' galaxies that fit the 'main sequence of star-forming galaxies' and may show asymmetric star formation and strong compact star-forming regions. We discovered surprising environmental dependences of the HI content, M_HI_, and of the morphological type of EIGs; the most isolated galaxies (of subsample EIG-1) have lower M_HI_ on average (with 2.5{sigma} confidence) and a higher tendency to be early types (with 0.94 confidence) compared to the less isolated galaxies of subsample EIG-2. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study that finds an effect in which an isolated sample shows a higher fraction of early types compared to a less isolated sample. Both early-type and late-type EIGs follow the same colour-to-M_*_, SFR-to-M_*_ (main sequence) and M_HI_-to-M_*_ relations. This indicates that the mechanisms and factors governing star formation, colour and the M_HI_-to-M_*_ relation are similar in early-type and late-type EIGs, and that the morphological type of EIGs is not governed by their M_HI_ content, colour or SFR.

- Description:
- We present HI observations of the galaxies in the first list of the Karachentsev catalog of previously unknown nearby dwarf galaxies (Karachentseva & Karachentsev, 1998, Cat. <J/A+AS/127/409>). This survey covers all known nearby galaxy groups within the Local Volume (i.e. within 10Mpc) and their environment, that is about 25% of the total sky. A total of 257 galaxies have been observed with a detection rate of 60%. We searched a frequency band corresponding to heliocentric radial velocities from -470km/s to ~+4000km/s. Non-detections are either due to limited coverage in radial velocity, confusion with Local HI (mainly in the velocity range -140km/s to +20km/s), or lack of sensitivity for very weak emission. 25% of the detected galaxies are located within the Local Volume. Those galaxies are dwarf galaxies judged by their optical linear diameter (1.4+/-0.2kpc on the average), their mean total HI mass (4.6x10^7^M_{sun}_), and their observed linewidths (39km/s).

- Description:
- We analyze molecular-gas formation in neutral atomic hydrogen (HI) clouds using the latest CO data, obtained from the FOREST (four-beam receiver system on the 45m telescope) unbiased Galactic plane imaging survey with the Nobeyama 45m telescope, and using HI data taken from the Very Large Array Galactic plane survey. We applied a dendrogram algorithm to the HI data cube to identify HI clouds, and we calculated the HI mass and molecular-gas mass by summing the CO line intensity within each HI cloud. On the basis of the results, we created a catalog of 5737 identified HI clouds with local standard of rest (LSR) velocity of VLSR<=-20km/s in galactic longitude and latitude ranges of 20{deg}<=l<=50{deg} and -1{deg}<=b<=1{deg}, respectively. We found that most of the HI clouds are distributed within a Galactocentric distance of 16kpc, and most of them are in the cold neutral medium phase. In addition, we determined that the high-mass end of the HI mass function is fitted well with a power-law function with an index of 2.3. Although two sequences of self-gravitating and diffuse clouds are expected to appear in the M_tot_-M_H2_ diagram according to previous works based on a plane-parallel model, the observational data show only a single sequence with large scattering within these two sequences. This implies that most of the clouds are mixtures of these two types of clouds. Moreover, we suggest the following scenario of molecular-gas formation: an HI-dominant cloud evolved with increasing H2 mass along a path of M_H2_{prop.to}M^2^_tot_ by collecting diffuse gas before reaching and moving along the curves of the two sequences.

- Description:
- We combine data from The HI Nearby Galaxy Survey and the GALEX Nearby Galaxy Survey to study the relationship between atomic hydrogen (HI) and far-ultraviolet (FUV) emission outside the optical radius (r25) in 17 spiral and 5 dwarf galaxies. In this regime, HI is likely to represent most of the interstellar medium (ISM) and FUV emission to trace recent star formation with little bias due to extinction, so that the two quantities closely trace the underlying relationship between gas and star formation rate (SFR).

- Description:
- We have determined accurate values of the Galactic neutral hydrogen column density, N_H_, toward 220 quasars and active galactic nuclei from 21cm H I measurements made on the 130 Foot Telescope (42.7m). Accurate values of N_H_ have now been obtained for the whole PG bright quasar sample and most quasars that have been observed by ROSAT and the Hubble Space Telescope through mid-1993. The spectra were corrected for stray 21cm radiation yielding values of N_H_ with a typical uncertainty of 1x10^19cm^-2 for high Galactic latitude directions. The H I column densities will be useful for correcting for interstellar opacity at UV and soft X-ray wavelengths, and for estimating the reddening and extinction toward these objects.

- Description:
- We estimate the Galactic supershell (GS) masses and energies. We developed and used an automatic algorithm. The study was carried out making use of the Leiden-Argentine-Bonn (LAB) HI survey in the outer part of the Galaxy. The algorithm was applied only to a set of GSs from the catalogue of Suad et al. (2014, Cat. J/A+A/564/A116), those showing HI-emission surrounding its central cavity in at least three quarters (or 270 degrees) of its angular extent. A total of 490 GSs fulfilled this criterion. Among them, 308 are completely surrounded by walls of HI-emission (Group A) and in the remaining 182 the central HI minimum is surrounded by ridges of HI emission in at least 270{deg} of its angular extent (Group B).
