| Abstract: |
The HI Nearby Galaxy Survey (THINGS) has imaged the spectral line
emission from atomic hydrogen in 34 nearby (d = 2–15 Mpc) spiral and
dwarf irregular galaxies at the highest feasible resolution (6–12″ and
<5.2 km s-1) with the Very Large Array. THINGS detects HI emission and
kinematics over the entire optical disk and generally to larger radii,
enabling consistent and careful examination of a number of
astrophysical problems, both global and local, relating to the
structure and dynamics of galaxies. Work pursued by the THINGS team
is described here, and readers are encouraged to download the data to
pursue analyses of their own. |
