H I-Selected Galaxies as a Probe of Galactic Disks
Abstract
We investigate the basic properties of local H I-rich galaxies by using semi-analytic galaxy formation models, taking into account the merging processes of dark halos, based on the hierarchical structure formation scenario. We find that both the cross sections of galactic disks and the star formation rates correlate strongly with the H I masses.
