We present the results of high velocity and high spatial resolution HI synthesis observations of the blue compact dwarf galaxy IZw18 to investigate the link between its unique evolutionary history and the neutral gas distribution and kinematics. The HI distribution is extensive, with diffuse neutral gas extending to the northwest and south of the main component. This diffuse gas may be a remnant of the nascent HI cloud. The kinematics of the IZw18 system are complex, with 4 components identified: HI-A, HI-C, HI-I, and HI-SX. The gas associated with the main body, HI-A, has a steep velocity gradient; although our analysis is hindered by poor spatial resolution relative to the extent of the system, the main body appears to be undergoing solid body rotation. The optical condensation to the northwest of IZw18 is embedded in the common HI envelope, and is found to be kinematically separate from the main body (HI-C). The interbody gas, HI-I, connects HI-A and HI-C. Finally, a large diffuse, kinematically distinct, gas component extends at least 1 arcmin to the south of the main body (HI-SX), with no known optical counterpart. The peak of the gas column density coincides with the SE HII region in the main body; two other HI peaks are associated with the NW HII region and an HII region in the optical condensation to the northwest. In many respects, the HI properties of the main body of IZw18 (HI-A) are not unusual for dwarf galaxies; the peak column density, gas dispersion, M_H/L_B, and M_H/M_T are remarkably similar to other low mass systems. The neutral gas associated with IZw18 is best described as a fragmenting HI cloud in the early stages of galaxy evolution.

We report the results of our observations of the nebular complex MH9/10/11, associated with the ULX HoIX X-1, with scanning Fabry-Perot Interferometer. Two regions differing by their kinematics and line ratios may be distinguished, roughly correspond
ing to the bubble nebula MH9/10 and fainter HII-region MH11. For MH9/10 we find the expansion rate of 20-70km/s that is different for the approaching and receding parts. MH11 is characterised by very low velocity dispersion (less than or about 15km/s) and nearly constant line-of-sight velocities. Properties of MH11 may be explained by photoionization of gas with hydrogen density of about 0.2cm^-3. Luminosity required for that should be of the order of 10^39erg/s. Similar power source is required to explain the expansion rate of MH9/10. Modelling results also indicate that oxygen abundance in MH11 is about solar.
We have used the latest HI observations of the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC), obtained with the Australia Telescope Compact Array and the Parkes telescope, to re-examine the kinematics of this dwarf, irregular galaxy. A large velocity gradient is foun
d in the HI velocity field with a significant symmetry in iso-velocity contours, suggestive of a differential rotation. A comparison of HI data with the predictions from tidal models for the SMC evolution suggests that the central region of the SMC corresponds to the central, disk- or bar-like, component left from the rotationally supported SMC disk prior to its last two encounters with the Large Magellanic Cloud. In this scenario, the velocity gradient is expected as a left-over from the original, pre-encounter, angular momentum. We have derived the HI rotation curve and the mass model for the SMC. This rotation curve rapidly rises to about 60 km/s up to the turnover radius of ~3 kpc. A stellar mass-to-light ratio of about unity is required to match the observed rotation curve, suggesting that a dark matter halo is not needed to explain the dynamics of the SMC. A set of derived kinematic parameters agrees well with the assumptions used in tidal theoretical models that led to a good reproduction of observational properties of the Magellanic System. The dynamical mass of the SMC, derived from the rotation curve, is 2.4x10^9 Msolar.
While protoplanetary disks often appear to be compact and well-organized in millimeter continuum emission, CO spectral line observations are increasingly revealing complex behavior at large distances from the host star. We present deep ALMA maps of t
he $J=2-1$ transition of $^{12}$CO, $^{13}$CO, and C$^{18}$O, as well as the $J=3-2$ transition of DCO$^+$, toward the T Tauri star RU Lup at a resolution of $sim0.3$ ($sim50$ au). The CO isotopologue emission traces four major components of the RU Lup system: a compact Keplerian disk with a radius of $sim120$ au, a non-Keplerian ``envelope-like structure surrounding the disk and extending to $sim260$ au from the star, at least five blueshifted spiral arms stretching up to 1000 au, and clumps outside the spiral arms located up to 1500 au in projection from RU Lup. We comment on potential explanations for RU Lups peculiar gas morphology, including gravitational instability, accretion of material onto the disk, or perturbation by another star. RU Lups extended non-Keplerian CO emission, elevated stellar accretion rate, and unusual photometric variability suggest that it could be a scaled-down Class II analog of the outbursting FU Ori systems.
One of the key science drivers for the development of the SKA is to observe the neutral hydrogen, HI, in galaxies as a means to probe galaxy evolution across a range of environments over cosmic time. Over the past decade, much progress has been made
in theoretical simulations and observations of HI in galaxies. However, recent HI surveys on both single dish radio telescopes and interferometers, while providing detailed information on global HI properties, the dark matter distribution in galaxies, as well as insight into the relationship between star formation and the interstellar medium, have been limited to the local universe. Ongoing and upcoming HI surveys on SKA pathfinder instruments will extend these measurements beyond the local universe to intermediate redshifts with long observing programmes. We present here an overview of the HI science which will be possible with the increased capabilities of the SKA and which will build upon the expected increase in knowledge of HI in and around galaxies obtained with the SKA pathfinder surveys. With the SKA1 the greatest improvement over our current measurements is the capability to image galaxies at reasonable linear resolution and good column density sensitivity to much higher redshifts (0.2 < z < 1.7). So one will not only be able to increase the number of detections to study the evolution of the HI mass function, but also have the sensitivity and resolution to study inflows and outflows to and from galaxies and the kinematics of the gas within and around galaxies as a function of environment and cosmic time out to previously unexplored depths. The increased sensitivity of SKA2 will allow us to image Milky Way-size galaxies out to redshifts of z=1 and will provide the data required for a comprehensive picture of the HI content of galaxies back to z~2 when the cosmic star formation rate density was at its peak.
This paper introduces the Hidden Valley simulations, a set of trillion-particle N-body simulations in gigaparsec volumes aimed at intensity mapping science. We present details of the simulations and their convergence, then specialize to the study of
21-cm fluctuations between redshifts 2 and 6. Neutral hydrogen is assigned to halos using three prescriptions, and we investigate the clustering in real and redshift-space at the 2-point level. In common with earlier work we find the bias of HI increases from near 2 at z = 2 to 4 at z = 6, becoming more scale dependent at high z. The level of scale-dependence and decorrelation with the matter field are as predicted by perturbation theory. Due to the low mass of the hosting halos, the impact of fingers of god is small on the range relevant for proposed 21-cm instruments. We show that baryon acoustic oscillations and redshift-space distortions could be well measured by such instruments. Taking advantage of the large simulation volume, we assess the impact of fluctuations in the ultraviolet background, which change HI clustering primarily at large scales.
