We present the results of a new sensitive survey of neutral hydrogen above and below the Galactic Center with the Green Bank Telescope. The observations extend up to Galactic latitude | b | < 10 deg with an effective angular resolution of…

We present WSRT, VLA and VLBI observations of the HI absorption in the radio galaxy NGC 315. The main result is that two HI absorbing systems are detected against the central region. In addition to the known highly redshifted, very narrow…

Unlike at lower redshift, where there is a 40% detection rate, surveys for 21-cm absorption arising within the hosts of z > 1 radio galaxies and quasars have been remarkably unsuccessful. Curran et al.(2008) suggest that this is due to the…

We report the results of a survey for HI 21-cm absorption at z < 0.4 in a new sample of radio sources with the Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope. Of the 11 sources for which there are good data, we obtain zero detections, where four are…

We present 1.4 and 5 GHz observations taken with the Very Large Array (VLA), and observations at 250 GHz obtained with the Max-Planck millimeter bolometer (MAMBO) at the IRAM 30~m telescope, of ten optically selected Quasi-stellar Objects…

Absorption lines at high redshift in front of quasars are rare in the mm domain. Only five associated and five intervening systems have been reported in the literature. These bring very useful information complementary to emission lines,…
