WALLABY Pilot Survey and ASymba: Comparing H i Detection Asymmetries to the SIMBA Simulation by Mathieu Perron-Cormier, Nathan Deg, Kristine Spekkens, Mark L. A. Richardson, Marcin Glowacki, Kyle A. Oman, Marc A. W. Verheijen, Nadine A. N. Hank, Sarah Blyth, Helga Dénes, Jonghwan Rhee, Ahmed Elagali, Austin Xiaofan Shen, Wasim Raja, Karen Lee-Waddell, Luca Cortese, Barbara Catinella, Tobias Westmeier

“…We compute 1D and 3D asymmetries for spatially resolved WALLABY Pilot Survey detections, and we find that the highest 3D asymmetries ( A _3D ≳ 0.5) stem from interacting systems or detections with strong bridges or tails. We then construct a series of WALLABY-like mock realizations drawn from the SIMBA 50 Mpc simulation volume and compare their asymmetry distributions. …”
