An Overview of The H I Nearby Galaxy Survey (THINGS)
Abstract
The HI Nearby Galaxy Survey (THINGS) is a high spectral (≤ 5.2 km s-1) and spatial (∼ 6'') resolution survey of HI emission in 34 nearby galaxies obtained using the NRAO Very Large Array (VLA). The overarching scientific goal of THINGS is to investigate fundamental characteristics of the interstellar medium (ISM) related to galaxy morphology, star formation and mass distribution across the Hubble sequence. Here we summarize some of the recent results obtained with THINGS.
