  1. Mapping the HI Neighborhood Around Starburst Dwarf Galaxies Megan Johnson NRAO, Green Bank Tully-Fisher Workshop, April 2012

  2. Outline • Introduction • NGC 1569 • Review of stellar and gas kinematics from LITTLE THINGS • GBT map • NGC 4163/NGC 4214 • Future Work • Summary Megan Johnson - TF 35

  3. Introduction • Starburst = short-lived intense period of star formation that is unsustainable over the Hubble time due to the limited supply of gas within a galaxy (McQuinn + 2010);generally, interactions/mergers are triggers • Dwarf Galaxy = low luminosity, low mass system, contained in a dark matter halo; believed to be the “Building Blocks” of larger galaxies • Starburst Dwarf Galaxy = possibly a “Building Block” in action? What is the role of interactions/mergers between dwarf galaxies? Megan Johnson - TF 35

  4. Introduction • Can HI environment around starburst dwarf galaxies provide clues to their interaction/merger history? Megan Johnson - TF 35

  5. NGC 1569 – What is its shape? • Stellar and Gas Kinematics Vmax/σz A B • Member of IC 342 Galaxy Group • D =3.36Mpc(Grocholski+ 2008) • MV =-17.57 • SFR = 0.24 M/yr • HI mass = 2.5 x 108 M • Stellar mass =2.8 x 108 M Megan Johnson - TF 35

  6. Previous Work: “HI Companion,” “HI Bridge,” Stil & Israel (1998) and “NCM HI Cloud” – Stil & Israel (2002) - HV3 “Chimney” - Hunter et al. (1993); Mühle et al. (2005); Westmoquette et al. (2008) Megan Johnson - TF 35
