H I mapping of outer disks of galaxies - M33 and NGC 3344

The neutral-hydrogen emission of M33 and NGC 3344 has been mapped using the Arecibo telescope. For M33, 166 spectra show that the H I disk extends out to twice the optical radius. The H I distribution displays asymmetric gaps and provides some evidence for a rising rotation curve. The H I distributi...

Zusammenfassung:The neutral-hydrogen emission of M33 and NGC 3344 has been mapped using the Arecibo telescope. For M33, 166 spectra show that the H I disk extends out to twice the optical radius. The H I distribution displays asymmetric gaps and provides some evidence for a rising rotation curve. The H I distribution in NGC 3344 reveals a distinct outer ring rather than a continuous warp.
