FEASTS: Radial Distribution of H i Surface Densities Down to 0.01 M⊙ pc−2 of 35 Nearby Galaxies by Jing Wang, Dong Yang, Xuchen Lin, Qifeng Huang, Zhijie Qu, Hsiao-wen Chen, Hong Guo, Luis C. Ho, Peng Jiang, Zezhong Liang, Céline Péroux, Lister Staveley-Smith, Simon Weng

“…These results imply that, in the absence of major tidal interactions, physical processes must cooperate so that Σ _H _i distributes in a self-similar way in the outer region down to the 0.01 M _⊙ pc ^−2 level. Moreover, they may drive gas flows in such a way that H i -richer galaxies have H i disks that not only extend further but also transport H i inward more efficiently from R _001 to R _1 .…”
