11 … the writing is on the wall… (… and in the literature…)

12 more HI in M96 than the Ring (Schneider etal 1989)

13 Giovanelli, Haynes, Chengalur “Virgo HI Cloud”

14 HI Mass Function: (dashed curve) Felton 1985, Luminosity Function F-T for M HI /L ( L )

15 HI Content according to galaxy mass

16 Integral HI mass content: 7.0x10 7 M o Mpc -3 (HIMF faint end slope:  = -1.28 ) Integral HI mass content: 6.1x10 7 M o Mpc -3 ( faint end slope:  = -1.3 ) Parkes HIPASS results (2003): (1990)

17 … what else in the meanwhile… Relation of Galactic High Velocity Clouds to IGM… … HVCs mostly within 200 kpc (Zwaan 2000, thesis)

18 HIPark – a parked Parkes survey Goals: ultra sensitive to low column densities How sensitive ? … optically thin at the Lyman limit exercise in observational techniques … rfi, passband calibration, … good match to long maintenance periods diffuse clouds in LG & Milky Way halo

19 HI Park proposers… Briggs Barnes de Blok Freeman Gibson Korbalski Reynolds Staveley-Smith Zwaan Progess: 25 days observations – John Reynolds extragalactic preview – Jackie Cooper

24 HIPARK Goal … Sensitivity: to achieve 6  < 3 x 10 17 cm -2 need ~ 6 hours of integration per beam Drift scan: 15’ beam transits in ~ 1 minute  ~360 transits

25 Barnes et al Multibeam !!!

26 1x1x 4x4x 3x3x Feed orientation for drift scans

27 Path of Survey Strip: Galactic Coords Limits on tiny masses in Sculptor… 3x10 4 d Mpc 2 solar masses D cloud >1 kpc at 250 kpc … to fill beam

31 22:55 01:14 R.A. 2200 km/s0 SCULPTOR Dec –32d53’

33 DEEP Centaurus Survey (Disney et al)

35 Conclusions: Early Low mass halos Star Formation ISM Lost Late Low mass halos never capture gas, (No Star Formation) Large mass halos Star Formation Galaxies No Intergalactic Neutral Hydrogen Clouds at Z=0 … faint end still not known… ATA… SKA (no I.G. HI clouds…)

38 Right Ascension Velocity 0 -500 2800 One Day – One Beam

39 RA Velocity -500 0 1100 km/s Galactic Plane crossing: L ~ 250 o
