We map the Hi distribution of galaxies in a $\sim 1.5^\circ \times 2.5^\circ$ region located at the virial radius south of the Virgo cluster using the KAT$-$7 and the WSRT interferometers. Because of the different beam sizes of the two…

We have carried out a sensitive high-latitude (|b| > 15deg.) HI 21cm-line absorption survey towards 102 sources using the GMRT. With a 3-sigma detection limit in optical depth of ~0.01, this is the most sensitive HI absorption survey. We…

We analyze the resolved neutral hydrogen emission properties of a sample of eleven of the nearest spiral galaxies. Between 60 and 90% of the total HI line flux within the optical disk is due to a high brightness network (HBN) of emission…

We present Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer and Hubble Space Telescope observations of high, intermediate, and low ion absorption in high-velocity cloud Complex C along the lines of sight toward five active galaxies. Our purpose is to…

We present a new high-sensitivity HI observation toward nearby spiral galaxy M101 and its adjacent 2$^{\circ}\times$ 2$^{\circ}$ region using the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope (FAST). From the observation, we detect…

Neutral atomic hydrogen (HI) constitutes a key phase of the cosmic baryon cycle, bridging the ionised circumgalactic medium and the star-forming molecular gas. Yet, nearly 75 years after its discovery, direct views of HI through its 21cm…

We present neutral hydrogen (HI) and ionized hydrogen (H${\alpha}$) observations of ten galaxies out to a redshift of 0.1. The HI observations are from the first epoch (178 hours) of the COSMOS HI Large Extragalactic Survey (CHILES). Our…

We report that neutral hydrogen (HI) gas clouds, resembling High Velocity Clouds (HVCs) observed in the Milky Way (MW), appear in MW-sized disk galaxies formed in high-resolution Lambda Cold Dark Matter (LCDM) cosmological simulations which…

Context. Neutral atomic hydrogen (HI) absorption lines can be used to probe the cold neutral medium (CNM) at high Galactic latitudes. Cold HI with a significant optical depth from the GASKAP-HI survey is found to be located predominantly if…

We present new MeerKAT 21cm spectral line observations of the neutral hydrogen gas in the compact galaxy group Stephan's Quintet (HCG 92). These data provide a significantly improved view of the atomic gas distribution and kinematics in the…

We present the results of a neutral hydrogen survey of the Bootes void carried out with the VLA in D-array. The survey covers $\sim 1100$ Mpc$^{3}$, about 1\% of the volume of the void as defined by Kirshner \etal 1987. We observed 24…

We have identified a class of high-velocity clouds which are compact and apparently isolated. The clouds are compact in that they have angular sizes less than 2 degrees FWHM. They are isolated in that they are separated from neighboring…

We use observations of the neutral atomic hydrogen (HI) 21-cm emission line to study the spatial distribution of the HI gas in a 80$\degree\times~$90$\degree$ region of the Galaxy halo. The HI column densities in the range of…

We present HI observations of the compact high-velocity cloud HVC289+33+251 that was discovered by Putman et al. (2002). Observations with the 100-m Effelsberg telescope demonstrate that this cloud is still unresolved by the 9' beam of the…

We report the first determination of a distance bracket for the high-velocity cloud (HVC) complex C. Combined with previous measurements showing that this cloud has a metallicity of 0.15 times solar, these results provide ample evidence…

Using the 100-m radio telescope at Effelsberg, we mapped a large area around the Andromeda Galaxy in the 21-cm line emission of neutral hydrogen to search for high-velocity clouds (HVCs) out to large projected distances in excess of 100…

The high-velocity clouds of atomic hydrogen, discovered about 35 years ago, have velocities inconsistent with simple Galactic rotation models that generally fit the stars and gas in the Milky Way disk. Their origins and role in Galactic…
