The WSRT HALOGAS Survey: Introduction
Welcome to the website of the WSRT Hydrogen Accretion in LOcal GAlaxieS (HALOGAS) Survey!
On this site, you'll find information about HALOGAS, including a description of the survey, and high-level data products. For a more complete description of the survey, data products, and HALOGAS science, check out the publications page.
HALOGAS is an ambitious observational program using the Westerbork Synthesis Radio Telescope (WSRT) in order to deeply survey several nearby galaxies in the neutral hydrogen (HI) emission line. This incredibly rich data set is being used to investigate the faint neutral gas in a large number of nearby spirals, and to determine the amount of gas in galaxies which is being accreted from the surrounding environment.
Our team is made up of experts in the field, and includes members from Europe,the United States, and Australia. To find out more, please take a look at the rest of this website. If you can't find the information that you're looking for, feel free to contact us!
