We present an analysis of the properties of neutral hydrogen (HI) in 248 nearby (0.02<z<0.25) radio galaxies with $S_{\rm 1.4\, GHz}>30$ mJy and for which optical spectroscopy is available. The observations were carried out with the…

We present MERLIN and Hubble Space Telescope (HST) observations of the central region of the nearby radio galaxy 3C305 and use them to study the gas and dust in this object. The MERLIN observations are of neutral hydrogen (HI) absorption…

We present the results of three separate searches for HI 21-cm absorption in a total of twelve damped Lyman-alpha absorption systems (DLAs) and sub-DLAs over the redshift range z = 0.86-3.37. We find no absorption in the five systems for…

Tracing the transition between the diffuse atomic interstellar medium (ISM) and cold, dense gas is crucial for deciphering the star formation cycle in galaxies. Here we present MACH, a new survey of cold neutral hydrogen (HI) absorption at…

We present MERLIN observations of OH maser and radio continuum emission from the Ultra Luminous IR Galaxy Markarian 231. The 1665- and 1667-MHz transitions have a combined velocity extent of 720 km/s and show a similar position-velocity…

We study the properties of low-column density gas clumps in the halo of the Milky Way based on high-resolution 21-cm observations. Using interferometric data from the WSRT and the VLA we study HI emission at low-, intermediate- and high…

We report adaptive optics H- and K-band spectroscopy of the inner few arcsec of the luminous merger/ULIRG/QSO Mkn231, at spatial resolutions as small as 0.085". For the first time we have been able to resolve the active star forming region…

We used the ARO 12m antenna to observe emission from the J=1-0 lines of carbon monoxide, \hcop\ and HNC and the J=2-1 line of CS toward and around the continuum peak used for absorption studies and we compare them with CH, HNC, C\p\ and…

We report the detection of 21-cm HI absorption towards the core of the Fanaroff-Riley II radio galaxy 3C452 (J2245+3941). The absorption profile is well resolved into three components; the strongest and narrowest component being coincident…

The cold molecular gas in the circumnuclear disk (CND) of radio galaxies provides critical information for understanding the mass accretion onto active galactic nuclei. We present the first detection and maps of HCN J=1-0 and HCO+ J=1-0…

The presence, distribution and kinematics of atomic neutral hydrogen in the central regions of galaxies can be traced by the HI 21~cm line observed in absorption. Depending only on the strength of the radio continuum, the associated…

We present the results from our 21-cm absorption survey of a sample of 5 quasar-galaxy pairs (QGPs), with the redshift of the galaxies in the range 0.03<zg<0.18, selected from the SDSS. The HI 21-cm absorption was searched towards the 9…

We present an analysis of the HI absorption in a sample of 101 flux-selected radio AGN (S_1.4 GHz > 50 mJy) observed with the Westerbork Synthesis Radio Telescope (WSRT). HI absorption is detected in 32 galaxies, showing a broad variety of…

We use JWST/NIRSpec observations of the radio galaxy 3C 293 to map the emission, extinction, and kinematics of hot molecular and ionized gas, as well as stellar kinematics, within the inner ~ 2 kpc. The stellar velocity field is well…

We present a 21-cm emission-absorption study towards extragalactic sources in the Canadian Galactic Plane Survey (CGPS). We have analyzed HI spectra towards 437 sources with S > 150 mJy, giving us a source density of 0.6 sources per square…

We report results from a Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope search for "associated" redshifted HI 21cm absorption from 24 active galactic nuclei (AGNs), at $1.1 < z < 3.6$, selected from the Caltech-Jodrell Bank Flat-spectrum (CJF) sample. 22…

Using the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope we have obtained deep high-resolution CCD images in V and I of a 28'x28' field in the outer disk of M 31 at ~ 116' from the center along the major axis to the south-west, and covering a range of…

We present Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope (GMRT) observations of redshifted 21-cm absorption from the $z=0.437$ metal line absorption system towards PKS 1243-072. HI absorption is clearly detected; the absorption profile has a velocity…

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…
