Searching for HI Absorbing Gas in AGN
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 13 May 2016
Abstract
With the aim of probing HI gas in AGN we have searched different samples of radio sources for the 21cm atomic hydrogen line in absorption. Depending on the source morphology, we are able to probe gas that either belongs to the host galaxy ISM, or gas that is situated on scales < 1kpc which then may be connected with the AGN fueling. For the HI absorption detected in 3C216, we argue that such sub-kpc scale gas instead might be due to a jet-cloud interaction.
