The detectability of H I 21 - cm absorption in damped Lyman - α systems
In this paper we investigate the possible reasons why H I 21-cm absorption in damped Lyman-α systems (DLAs) has only been detected at low redshift: To date, no 21-cm absorption has yet been detected at zabs > 2.3 and at redshifts less than this, there is a mix of detections and non-detections in the DLAs searched. This has been attributed to the morphologies of the galaxies hosting the DLAs, wh...
متن کاملAssociated 21 - cm H i absorption towards the radio galaxy 3 C 452 ( J 2245 + 3941 )
We report the detection of 21-cm Hi absorption towards the core of the Fanaroff-Riley II radio galaxy 3C 452 (J2245+3941). The absorption profile is well resolved into three components; the strongest and narrowest component being coincident with the velocity corresponding to [O iii] emission lines while the other two components are blue-shifted with respect to it by ∼30 amd ∼115 km s −1. If the...
متن کاملH I 21 - cm absorption and unified schemes of active galactic nuclei
In a recent study of z > ∼ 0.1 active galactic nuclei (AGN), we found that 21-cm absorption has never been detected in objects in which the ultra-violet luminosity exceeds LUV ∼ 10 W Hz. In this paper, we further explore the implications that this has for the currently popular consensus that it is the orientation of the circumnuclear obscuring torus, invoked by unified schemes of AGN, which det...
متن کاملThe existence and detection of optically dark galaxies by 21 cm surveys
One explanation for the disparity between Cold Dark Matter (CDM) predictions of galaxy numbers and observations could be that there are numerous dark galaxies in the Universe. These galaxies may still contain baryons, but no stars, and may be detectable in the 21cm line of atomic hydrogen. The results of surveys for such objects, and simulations that do/do not predict their existence, are contr...
متن کاملH i Absorption in High - Frequency Peaker Galaxies
WSRT observations have been used to investigate the presence of neutral hydrogen in extremely young radio galaxies. These objects were selected from a sample of High-Frequency Peakers (HFPs). We detect 2 of the 6 observed galaxies confirming previous detection of H i in these objects. In the case of OQ 208-for which discrepant results were available-we confirm the presence of a broad (∼ 1800 km...
