Extract

One of the unusual features of the lenticular galaxy NGC 5128 is the presence of HI absorption (Roberts 1970; Whiteoak and Gardner 1971) and H2CO absorption (Gardner and Whiteoak 1976) against the radio source located near the nucleus. Using the Parkes 64-m radio telescope we have made HI and H2CO observations with improved resolution, and have also detected OH absorption in this galaxy. For the OH and H2CO observations, the equipment and observing procedure have already been described (e.g. Whiteoak and Gardner 1973; Gardner and Whiteoak 1976); for the HI observations they will be described in a forthcoming paper (Whiteoak and Gardner, to be submitted to Aust. J. Phys.).
