The distributions of intensity and radial velocity of neutral hydrogen gas of low radial velocity are presented in the form of detailed diagrams of T max., the temperature at the peak of a hydrogen line profile, and of the radial velocity value at the Tmax .

Information is presented concerning the distributions of the intensity and radial velocity of atomic hydrogen gas at radial velocities away from zero. The observations were made with an aerial beam of 2?2 between half-power points and a multichannel H-line receiver of channel spacing equivalent to 7 km/s and bandwidth 38 kc/s ( 8 km/s).

Earlier investigations have shown that there is a preponderance of negative velocities in the hydrogen gas at high latitudes, and that in certain areas very little low-velocity gas occurs. In the region 100° <l< 250°, + 40° <b< + 85°, there appears to be a disturbance, with velocities between - 30 and - 80 km/sec. This ‘streaming’ involves about 3000 (r/100)2solar masses (rin pc). In the same region there is a low surface density at low velocities (|V| < 30 km/sec). About 40% of the gas in the disturbance is in the form of separate concentrations superimposed on a relatively smooth background. The number of these concentrations as a function of velocity remains constant from - 30 to - 60 km/sec but drops rapidly at higher negative velocities. The velocity dispersion in the concentrations varies little about 6·2 km/sec. Concentrations at positive velocities are much less abundant.

Observations of 16 open galactic clusters in their continuum emission and at the neutral hydrogen line have been made with the Parkes 64 m radio telescope in an attempt to determine the total amount of hydrogen gas associated with them. In this, the first of a series of five papers, the observing procedure and the method of data reduction are described.

A sky survey of the 21 cm hydrogen line has been made with the 100-foot Radiotelescope of the I.A.R.-C.I.W. Radio Astronomy Station in the region 230° ≤ lII ≤ 280°, −15° ≤ bII ≤ −3°.We study the distribution of the local hydrogen and that in the Orion, Intermediate and Perseus arms. We find a new structure that starts at lII = 265°. We also study the concentrations which lie far below the plane; some of them seem to be related to Lindblad's G arm.

Our re-examination of the neutral hydrogen gas in the Small Magellan Cloud has led to four important results. Firstly, we find that Hindman’s (1967) total content HI map is a satisfactory representation of the gas in the line of sight. Secondly, we find that the HI gas in the SMC exists in four distinct large masses separated from one another in radial velocity by 20 to 30 km s−1. Thirdly, having made this division of the gas we show that there is good correlation between the radial velocities of HII regions, supergiant stars and HI. Finally, we believe that our observations reveal that the SMC is associated with an extremely large trailing halo of HI gas which forms the major component of the inter-cloud bridge region.

A recent survey of the neutral hydrogen in the Large Magellanic Cloud with a 14'�5 beam and the 48�channel H�line receiver has afforded an opportunity to compare the radial velocities of a number of optical objects with the radial velocities of the hydrogen gas in their directions.

AbstractProject META II, a full sky survey for artificial narrow-band signals, has been conducted from one of the two 30-m radiotelescopes of the Instituto Argentino de Radioastronomía (IAR). The search was performed near the 1420 Mhz line of neutral hydrogen, using a 8.4 million channels Fourier spectrometer of 0.05 Hz resolution and 400 kHz instantaneous bandwidth. The observing frequency was corrected both for motions with respect to three astronomical inertial frames, and for the effect of Earths rotation, which provides a characteristic changing signature for narrow-band signals of extraterrestrial origin. Among the 2 × 1013spectral channels analyzed, 29 extra-statistical narrow-band events were found, exceeding the average threshold of 1.7 × 10−23Wm−2. The strongest signals that survive culling for terrestrial interference lie in or near the galactic plane. A description of the project META II observing scheme and results is made as well as the possible interpretation of the results using the Cordes-Lazio-Sagan model based in interstellar scattering theory.
