... A large fraction of the neutral atomic hydrogen (H I) in the Galaxy is hidden from direct view. Arcminute resolution 21 cm line maps from the Canadian Galactic Plane Survey (CGPS) reveal numerous cold hydrogen clouds as H I self-absorption (HISA) shadows against warmer background emission. HISA has traditionally been thought to trace the small fraction of atomic gas in molecular clouds. ...

... However, the comparison of masses deduced from the continuum SIMBA 1.2 mm emission and virial masses (understood to trace the entire potential of the clouds) in a sample of giant molecular clouds in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) by previous studies found a discrepancy between these two quantities that requires explanation. ... Methods: New observations of the southwest region of the SMC were obtained with the LABOCA camera on the APEX telescope. ...
