HI mapping of nearby dwarf galaxies with SKA pathfinders unique capabilities of KAT-7 and MeerKAT.

 

ABSTRACT:Dwarf galaxies are by far the most numerous galaxies in the Local Universe. Their simple structure and proximity provide a unique window to the detailed investigation of various processes necessary for galaxy formation and evolution. One of the most reliable approaches for studying the evolution of galaxies is to look at their physical properties using neutral hydrogen gas (HI). In this talk, I will present ongoing work on the HI properties of dwarf galaxies with SKA path-finder and precursor telescopes. I will also report the discovery of large amounts of cold HI gas in a nearby galaxy group. These observations were obtained with South Africa’s MeerKAT-64 array as part of the early science program. peakers and detailed connection info here:
