HI in Karachentsev Objects Properties of new nearby Dwarf Galaxies
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 April 2016
Abstract
This is a report on HI observations of newly discovered nearby dwarf galaxies, most of which of low surface brightness, from the first section of the Karachentsev catalog. Observations were performed using the 100-m radiotelescope at Effelsberg, the Nançay radiotelescope, and the compact array of the Australia Telescope. We observed 220 galaxies with a detection rate of about 60%. 35 of the observed galaxies are located within the Local Volume (i.e., within 10 Mpc). The smallest detected galaxies have diameters around 0.3 kpc and HI-masses of a few times 106 solar masses. We confirm a correlation between HI column density and surface brightness of gas-rich disk galaxies.
