Abstract:We present neutral atomic hydrogen (H ) observations using the Robert C. Byrd Green Bank Telescope (GBT) along the lines of sight to 49 dwarf satellite galaxy candidates around eight Local Volume systems (M104, M51, NGC1023, NGC1156, NGC2903, NGC4258, NGC4565, NGC4631). We detect the H reservoirs of two candidates (dw0934+2204 and dw1238β1122) and confirm them as background sources relative to their nearest foreground host systems. The remaining 47 satellite candidates are not detected in H , and we place stri… Show more
