We compare the stellar populations and complex neutral gas dynamics of the M81 group dIrr galaxy DDO 165 using data from the HST and the VLA. Paper I identified two kinematically distinct HI components, multiple localized high velocity gas…
Results are presented from a wide area, high resolution HI synthesis survey of the outer regions of the nearby M81 group, where internal (galactic) and external (group-related) evolution processes can be studied simultaneously in great…
We present a 3x3 degrees, 105-pointing, high-resolution neutral hydrogen (HI) mosaic of the M81 galaxy triplet (including the galaxies M81, M82 and NGC 3077, as well as dwarf galaxy NGC 2976) obtained with the Very Large Array (VLA) C and D…
We present observations and analysis of nine dwarf irregular galaxies (dIs) in the M81 Group taken with the Advanced Camera for Surveys aboard the Hubble Space Telescope. The nine galaxy sample (the Garland, M81 Dwarf A, DDO 53, Ho IX, Ho…
Mapping of the HI disk of the isolated irregular galaxy DDO 154 with the C array of the Very Large Array and with the 3.2' upgraded Arecibo beam is presented. Our results show a truncation (or temporary drop) of the HI disk at a column…
A 25 $\rm deg^2$ region, including the M81 complex (M81, M82, NGC 3077), NGC 2976 and IC2574, was mapped during ~3000 hours with the DRAO synthesis telescope. With a physical resolution of ~1 kpc, these observations allow us to probe a…
We present the results of a multiwavelength study of the nearby dwarf galaxy DDO 53 - a relatively isolated member of the M 81 group. We analyse the atomic and ionised gas kinematics (based on the observations with Fabry-Perot…
Results are presented of the first blind HI survey of the M81 group of galaxies. The data were taken as part of the HI Jodrell All Sky Survey (HIJASS). The survey reveals several new aspects to the complex morphology of the HI distribution…
Sensitive 21cm HI line observations were performed for 23 dwarf members and possible members of the nearby M81 group of galaxies, including five objects of a clustering of extremely low-surface brightness objects of unknown nature. With the…
We use H-alpha images of three clumps of young stars situated between M81 and NGC3077 to estimate their star formation rate. Radial velocities of the clumps measured by us, as well as the velocity of HII-region in the dSph galaxy KDG61 are…
We present HI synthesis observations of the nearby dwarf galaxy IC 2574 (a member of the M81 group of galaxies) made with the NRAO Very Large Array at high spatial and velocity resolution (95 pc x 2.6 km/s). The VLA HI observations show a…
Cosmological galaxy formation models predict the existence of dark matter minihalos surrounding galaxies and in filaments connecting groups of galaxies. The more massive of these minihalos are predicted to host HI gas that should be…
We present new HI observations of the nearby massive spiral galaxy M83, taken with the VLA at $21^{\prime\prime}$ angular resolution ($\approx500$ pc) of an extended ($\sim$1.5 deg$^2$) 10-point mosaic combined with GBT single dish data. We…
We present deep, high velocity resolution (~1.6 km/s) Giant Meterwave Radio Telescope (GMRT) HI 21cm synthesis images of the faint (M_B ~ -10.6) local group dwarf galaxy DDO210. We find that the HI distribution in the galaxy is not…
As part of our study on the impact of violent star formation on the interstellar medium (ISM) of dwarf galaxies, we report observations of neutral atomic hydrogen (HI) in the post-starburst dwarf galaxy NGC 1569. High-resolution…
We present sensitive and high resolution 21 cm observations of the dwarf irregular (dIm) galaxy DDO 43, in conjunction with optical broad and narrow band images in U, B, V, and Halpha. The observations are used to examine the relationship…
We compare the detailed distributions of HI, H alpha, and 150 nm far-UV continuum emission in the spiral arms of M81 at a resolution of 9" (linear resolution 150 pc at 3.7 Mpc distance). The bright H alpha emission peaks are always…
We present WSRT observations of high sensitivity and resolution of the neutral hydrogen in the starburst dwarf galaxy NGC 1569. Assuming a distance of 2.2 Mpc, we find a total HI mass of 1.3 * 10^8 M_sun to be distributed in the form of a…
We present an HI and optical study of the gas-rich dwarf irregular galaxy DDO 88. Although DDO 88's global optical and HI parameters are normal for its morphological type, it hosts a large (3 kpc diameter) and unusually complete ring of…
[abridged] We present observations of the dust and atomic gas phase in seven dwarf irregular galaxies of the M81 group from the SINGS and THINGS surveys. The Spitzer observations provide a first glimpse of the nature of the non-atomic ISM…
