HI in dusty early-type galaxies: probing the minor merger process

We propose an HI study of 13 nearby, massive early-type galaxies with prominent dust lanes, systems that are considered to be remnants of recent minor mergers between spheroidearly-type galaxies and gas-rich dwarfs. Combined with our existing UV to far-infrared analysis of these ob jects using GALEX, SDSS, UKIDSS, WISE and Herschel-ATLAS surveys, as well as the recently obtained IRAM CO data, we will be able to estimate: (1) the gas masses involved in minor mergers; (2) the gas-to-dust ratios of the accreted satellites; (3) star formation efficiencies in minor mergers; and (4) the breakdown between atomic and molecular gas in such interactions. HI characterisation is an important step in our aim to produce a detailed empirical description of the role of gas in the minor merger process, which is a significant driver of cosmic star formation and AGN activity at late epochs, but is currently poorly understood.
