DADDAA Faculty Search: “Atomic Gas in Nearby Galaxies as a Cosmological Probe”
AB88
Dr. Kristine Spekkens
March 28, 2023
2:00pm - 3:30pm
The atomic gas (HI) content of nearby galaxies provides important insight into how they form and evolve within the standard cosmology. In this talk, I will highlight some of my group’s recent progress towards building statistical samples of HI detections for nearby galaxies to use…
