SH #3: Understanding Galaxies         Group Project

Team E:       Detecting HI in Galaxies with the 20-meter telescope

This activity is designed for the "returnee" team. The objective is to devise a set of instructions for a classroom activity centered on using the 20 meter telescope to measure the spectra of some nearby HI-bright galaxies.

Here is the list of HI-bright (high HI flux) galaxies that Martha created:

 UGC #   RA(deg)  Dec(deg)  Vhelio   Flux*   W50
  1149   24.1737  15.78306    657    42.4     53

  7081  181.3904  50.53944    746    10.0    343
  7183  182.7671  50.48278    771    10.2    399
  8490  202.4021  58.42028    201    12.4    114
  9179  214.9508  56.72889    303    13.3    148
 12113  339.2671  34.41611    813    17.0    503

* integrated line flux in Jy-km/s  (need to check this later to be sure beam corrections ok)
OK, so there isn't much here; we should discuss. That's what being in the same place at the same time is about.
