ATCA search for 21 cm emission from a candidate damped
We report a deep search for 21 cm emission/absorption from the z ∼ 0.101 candidate damped Lyman-α system towards PKS 0439−433, using the Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA). The spectrum shows a weak absorption feature — at the 3.3σ level — which yields a lower limit of 730 K on the spin temperature of the system. No H i emission was detected: the 3σ upper limit on the H i mass of the abso...
متن کاملThe Virgo Cluster Distance from 21 Cm-line Widths
The distance of the Virgo cluster is derived in the B band from the 21 cm-line width-absolute magnitude relation. The latter is calibrated using 18 spirals with Cepheid distances mainly from HST. The calibration is applied to a complete sample of non-peculiar spirals with i > 45◦ and lying within the optical (n=49) or X-ray (n=35) contour of the cluster, resulting in a mean cluster distance of ...
متن کاملProspects for detecting the 21 cm forest from the diffuse intergalactic medium with LOFAR
We discuss the feasibility of the detection of the 21 cm forest in the diffuse intergalactic medium (IGM) with the radio telescope LOFAR. The optical depth to the 21 cm line has been derived using simulations of reionization which include detailed radiative transfer of ionizing photons. We find that the spectra from reionization models with similar total comoving hydrogen ionizing emissivity bu...
متن کاملA “missing” Supernova Remnant Revealed by the 21-cm Line of Atomic Hydrogen
Although some 20–30,000 supernova remnants (SNRs) are expected to exist in the Milky Way, only about 230 are presently known. This implies that most SNRs are “missing”. Recently, we proposed that small ( < ∼ 1 ), faint, high-velocity features seen in large-scale 21-cm line surveys of atomic hydrogen (Hi) in the Galactic plane could be examples of such missing old SNRs. Here we report on high-re...
متن کاملIntensity Mapping with Carbon Monoxide Emission Lines and the Redshifted 21 Cm Line
We quantify the prospects for using emission lines from rotational transitions of the CO molecule to perform an ‘intensity mapping’ observation at high redshift during the Epoch of Reionization (EoR). The aim of CO intensity mapping is to observe the combined CO emission from many unresolved galaxies, to measure the spatial fluctuations in this emission, and use this as a tracer of large scale ...
