Previous work has argued that atomic gas mass estimates of galaxies from 21 cm HI emission are systematically low due to a cold opaque atomic gas component. If true, this opaque component necessitates a ~35% correction factor relative to…

We proposed that the European ELT will be equipped with an ultra-high-precision polarimetric light feed as part of its high resolution optical and near-IR spectrograph HIRES. Such a feed is unique among the new ELTs and only possible in a…
