- W129172327 abstract "In large galaxies molecular hydrogen is a better tracer of star formation than atomic hydrogen as shown recently by Leroy et al. (2008) and Bigiel et al. (2008). Molecular hydrogen content in dwarf galaxies, however, is difficult to constrain, and one must resort to other methods in defining locations of star formation. One intriguing idea involves identifying cold gas through narrow HI emission (e.g., Young et al. 1996, 1997). Cold HI gas is thought to be an intermediate step between the warm, neutral ISM and molecular hydrogen. In this project, we aim to characterize the cold neutral medium via VLA HI line maps from the VLA-ANGST (P.I. Ott) and THINGS (Walter et al. 2008) projects. VLA-ANGST is an NRAO Large program which obtained HI line images of 36 dwarf galaxies within ~3.5 Mpc. These 36 galaxies have HST observations from the ANGST project (P.I. Dalcanton), providing star formation histories from the resolved stellar populations. The high quality VLA observations allow us to spatially decompose line-of-sight spectra across the HI disk into broad and narrow components. Studying the environment immediately surrounding areas of narrow line emission allows us to investigate the relationship between the cold gas and star formation. We present analysis of the HI data, the morphologies of the cold gas components, and a comparison of the cold HI gas to locations of recent star formation as seen in HST optical images.

Method We fit Gaussians to line-of-sight spectra through HI image cubes. Each cube has been smoothed to a 15” beam. Spectra were extracted in steps of half-beam widths (7.5”) across the emission area. A single-Gaussian was fit to each spectra and was compared to a double-Gaussian fit. The reduced chi-squares were compared in a single-tailed F -test. Narrow line detections are those locations where adding a second Gaussian component improved the quality of the fit at the 95% probability level. The narrow line gas typically has velocity widths between 2 – 7 km/s while the broader components and single Gaussian fits have velocity widths between 7 – 15 km/s. The Narrow line gas may be tracing the cold, Neutral ISM. We detect narrow line emission in each of the galaxies analyzed thus far. The distribution of the narrow line gas is different than the global HI distribution. We also find narrow line to total mass ratios of up to ~8%.
