چکیده
We report the GMRT detection of associated HI 21 cm-line absorption in the z=1.1946 red quasar 3C 190. Most of the absorption is blue-shifted with respect to the systemic redshift. The absorption, at ∼ 647.7 MHz, is broad and complex, spanning a velocity width of ∼ 600 kms. Since the core is self-absorbed at this frequency, the absorption is most likely towards the hotspots. Comparison of the radio and deep optical images reveal linear filaments in the optical which overlap with the brighter radio jet towards the south-west. We therefore suggest that most of the HI 21 cm-line absorption could be occurring in the atomic gas shocked by the south-west jet.

A search for HI 21cm absorption in strong MgII absorbers in the redshift desert
We report results from a deep search for redshifted HI 21cm absorption in 55 strong MgIIλ2796 absorbers (having Wλ2796 0 > 0.5Å) at intermediate redshifts, 0.58 < zabs < 1.70, with the Green Bank Telescope (GBT) and the Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope (GMRT). Nine detections of HI 21cm absorption were obtained, all at 1.17 < zabs < 1.68, including three systems reported earlier by Gupta et al. ...

We report the detection of 21-cm Hi absorption towards the core of the Fanaroff-Riley II radio galaxy 3C 452 (J2245+3941). The absorption profile is well resolved into three components; the strongest and narrowest component being coincident with the velocity corresponding to [O iii] emission lines while the other two components are blue-shifted with respect to it by ∼30 amd ∼115 km s −1. If the...
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...

We have searched for redshifted neutral hydrogen 21 cm absorption toward sources from the Stickel et al. ““ red quasar ÏÏ subsample. The red quasar subsample is taken from the 1 Jy sample of Ñat-spectrum radio sources and is comprised of the 15 sources that are undetected on the POSS. Five of these red quasars have been searched for redshifted H I 21 cm absorption to optical depth levels of a f...
متن کاملThe optimal redshift for detecting ionized bubbles in HI 21-cm maps
The detection of individual ionized bubbles in HI 21-cm maps is one of the most promising, direct probes of the epoch of reionization (EoR). Atleast 1000 hrs of observation would be required for such a detection with either the currently functioning GMRT or the upcoming MWA. Considering the large investment of telescope time it is essential to identify the“optimal redshift” where the prospects ...
