The paper analyzes the absorption line profile at 21 cm for the hydrogen atom in the interstellar medium. The hydrogen atom is treated as a three-level system illuminated by a powerful light source at neighboring resonances corresponding to…

Neutral atomic hydrogen and molecular gas in the host galaxies of radio active galactic nuclei (AGN) can be traced using H I 21-cm and OH-1667 MHz absorption lines to understand the fueling and feedback processes. We present the results of…

We aim at analysing systematically the distribution and physical properties of neutral and mildly ionised gas in the Milky Way halo, based on a large absorption-selected data set. Multi-wavelength studies were performed combining optical…

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…

Simulations predict that galaxies grow primarily through the accretion of gas that has not gone through an accretion shock near the virial radius and that this cold gas flows towards the central galaxy along dense filaments and streams.…

Obscuration of quasars by accreted gas and dust, or dusty intervening galaxies, can cause active galactic nuclei (AGN) to be missed in optically-selected surveys. Radio observations can overcome this dust bias. In particular, radio surveys…

We conducted a HI 21cm absorption study of a sample of 147 nearby (z < 0.1) low-power radio sources with $10\,\mathrm{mJy} < S_{1.4\,\mathrm{GHz}} < 30\,\mathrm{mJy}$ and $\log(P_{1.4\,\mathrm{GHz}}/\mathrm{W\,Hz^{-1}}) = 20.5-23.7$, using…

Using H I absorption alone, we attempt to separate H I absorption lines in quasar spectra into two categories; HDLs (Higher Density Lines) and LDLs (Lower Density Lines), and we discuss the difference in their physical properties. We…

We study the X-ray absorption of a complete sample of 99 bright Swift gamma-ray bursts. Over the last few years, a strong correlation between the intrinsic X-ray absorbing column density (N_H(z)) and the redshift was found. This absorption…

The star-forming reservoir in the distant Universe can be detected through HI 21-cm absorption arising from either cool gas associated with a radio source or from within a galaxy intervening the sight-line to the continuum source. In order…

A linear relation between the hydrogen column density (N_H) and optical extinction (A_V) in the Galaxy has long been observed. A number of studies found differing results in the slope of this relation. Here, we utilize the data on 22…

We consider the structure of the N(H I) - E(B-V) relationship when H I is measured in the 21 cm radio line and \EBV\ is defined by far-IR dust-derived measures. We derive reddening-dependent corrections to N(H I) based on interferometric…

We report the discovery of a threshold in the HI column density of Galactic gas clouds below which the formation of the cold phase of HI is inhibited. This threshold is at $N_{HI} = 2 \times 10^{20}$ per cm$^{2}$; sightlines with lower HI…

We present an X-ray absorption line spectroscopic study of the large-scale hot interstellar medium (HISM) in the Galaxy. We detect Ne IX K$_\alpha$ absorption lines in the {\sl Chandra} grating spectra of seven Galactic low-mass X-ray…

Physical properties of the tiny scale structures in the cold neutral medium (CNM) of galaxies is a long-standing puzzle. Only a few lines of sights in our Galaxy have been studies with mixed results on the scale-invariant properties of such…

We report a uGMRT detection of HI 21-cm absorption associated with the radio source 8C 0604+728, at $z = 3.52965$. The source is at the highest redshift at which associated HI 21-cm absorption has been discovered to date, surpassing earlier…

We present observational evidences that dust in the circumnuclear region of AGNs has different properties than in the Galactic diffuse interstellar medium. By comparing the reddening of optical and infrared broad lines and the X-ray…

We present the results of a mini-survey for associated HI 21-cm absorption at z < 0.42 with the Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope. Our targets are radio galaxies, selected on the basis that the 1216 Angstrom luminosities are below 10^23 W/Hz,…

We present methods and results from "21-cm Spectral Line Observations of Neutral Gas with the EVLA" (21-SPONGE), a large survey for Galactic neutral hydrogen (HI) absorption with the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (VLA). With the upgraded…

Previous surveys for HI 21-cm absorption in z > 0.1 radio galaxies and quasars yield a 40% detection rate, which is attributed to unified schemes of active galactic nuclei (AGN). In this paradigm absorption is only witnessed in (close to)…
