The 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 کاملHI 21 cm - line observations with the GMRT towards interstellar clouds previously seen in optical absorption
We have made HI 21cm-line absorption measurements using the GMRT towards 15 directions in the Galaxy which are known to have high random velocity clouds as seen in the optical absorption lines of CaII and NaI. For the first time, in 6 out of these 15 directions we detect HI absorption features corresponding to the high random velocity optical absorption lines. The mean optical depth of these de...
متن کاملGMRT detection of HI 21 cm - line absorption from the peculiar galaxy in Abell 2125
Using the recently completed Giant Meterwave Radio Telescope, we have detected the HI 21 cm-line absorption from the peculiar galaxy C153 in the galaxy cluster Abell 2125. The HI absorption is at a redshift of 0.2533, with a peak optical depth of 0.36. The full width at half minimum of the absorption line is 100 km s. The estimated column density of atomic Hydrogen is 0.7×1022(Ts/100) cm . The ...
متن کاملThe Millennium Arecibo 21-cm Absorption Line Survey. I. Techniques and Gaussian Fits
We review the theory of measuring spectral lines in emission/absorption observations and apply it to a new survey of the 21-cm line against 79 continuum sources. We develop an observing technique and least-squares procedure to determine the opacity profile, the expected emission profile, and their uncertainty profiles. We discuss the radiative transfer for the two-component interstellar HI gas ...
متن کاملThe Millennium Arecibo 21-cm Absorption Line Survey: Extolling the Analysis Procedures
We have recently completed the analysis of a survey of the HI line in emission/absorption against 79 radio sources. Our CNM temperatures are about half those of previous authors and we find a substantial quantity of thermally unstable WNM. These results are somewhat controversial. Here we discuss the analysis procedures to illustrate explicitly why the results are reliable. Our full papers (Hei...
