HI 21cm-line self-absorption (HISA) reveals the shape and distribution of cold atomic clouds in the Galactic disk. Many of these clouds lack corresponding CO emission, despite being colder than purely atomic gas in equilibrium models. HISA…

We present an HI absorption survey of the central 250 pc of the Galaxy. Very Large Array (VLA) observations were made at 21 cm in the DnC and CnB configurations and have a resolution of ~15"(0.6 pc at the Galactic Center (GC) distance) and…

We present the Green Bank Telescope absorption survey of cold atomic hydrogen ($\lesssim 300$K) in the inner halo of low-redshift galaxies. The survey aims to characterize the cold gas distribution and to address where condensation - the…

Combined HI emission-absorption studies constrain the spin temperature and phase structure of the neutral atomic hydrogen interstellar medium (ISM), but have largely been limited to the Milky Way and the Local Group. We extend this…

Evolution of the cosmic star formation rate (SFR) and molecular gas mass density is expected to be matched by a similarly strong evolution of the fraction of atomic hydrogen (HI) in the cold neutral medium (CNM). We use results from a…

We present results of a blind search for Galactic HI 21-cm absorption lines toward 19130 radio sources, using 390 pointings of MALS, each pointing centered on a source brighter than 200 mJy. We detected 3640 HI absorption features. This…

We present early science results from the First Large Absorption Survey in HI (FLASH), a spectroscopically blind survey for 21-cm absorption lines in cold hydrogen HI gas at cosmological distances using the Australian Square Kilometre Array…

We investigate the practice of assigning high spin temperatures to damped Lyman-alpha absorption systems (DLAs) not detected in HI 21-cm absorption. In particular, Kanekar & Chengaulr (2003) have attributed the mix of 21-cm detections and…

The H2O Southern Galactic Plane Survey (HOPS) has mapped a 100 degree strip of the Galactic plane (-70deg > l > 30deg, |b| < 0.5deg) using the 22-m Mopra antenna at 12-mm wavelengths. Observations were conducted in on-the-fly mode using the…

Cold atomic hydrogen clouds are the precursors of molecular clouds. Due to self-absorption, the opacity of cold atomic hydrogen may be high, and this gas may constitute an important mass component of the interstellar medium (ISM). Atomic…

We present the first results from a new carbon monoxide (CO) survey of the southern Galactic plane being conducted with the Mopra radio telescope in Australia. The 12CO, 13CO and C18O J=1-0 lines are being mapped over the l = 305-345 deg, b…

We report Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope (GMRT) 21cm observations of two confirmed and one candidate low redshift damped Lyman-alpha systems (DLAS). HI absorption was detected in the two confirmed systems, at z=0.2378 and z=0.5247, with…
