Proposal Title: Mapping Hi and OH Toward NGC 383 (3C31)
ABSTRACT:
We request 34 hours of telescope time to conduct mapping observations at the Hi and OH transitions towards and
surrounding the extended, bright continuum region associated with NGC 383 (3C31) in the Pisces­Perseus
Supercluster (PPS). These observations will allow a detailed morphological analysis of the Hi of the system from
the anticipated emission and absorption information which is otherwise conspicuously absent. From these data a
unique, fully sampled and high spatial resolution map of the thermal characteristics of the system can be calculated
and a dedicated study of the molecular component of the emission region will be possible. These observations will
adopt a hexagonal pointing pattern to Nyquist sample the system, achieving an adequate velocity resolution for the
required studies. This experiment will be the first to analyse the Hi of NGC 383 and its environs on a group­wide
scale. The resolution and sensitivity of the Arecibo telescope makes it the most suitable instrument for this project.
