Neutral hydrogen absorption at the center of NGC2146

Astrophysics 2009-11-10 v1

Abstract

We present 1.4 GHz HI absorption line observations towards the starburst in NGC2146, made with the VLA and MERLIN. The HI absorption has a regular spatial and regular velocity distribution, and does not reveal any anomaly as a sign of an encounter with another galaxy or of a far-evolved merger.
