  • The SHIELD HI Data Suite
    • Using data from VLA (10B-187, 13A-027, 14A-076, 15A-472, 15B-169, 15B-388, 16A-134, 17A-157, 18A-177) and WSRT (14A-018) programs led by our team, the SHIELD HI data suite includes the following components:
      • Low angular resolution HI imaging (VLA/D or WSRT) of all 82 SHIELD galaxies
      • Medium angular resolution HI imaging (VLA/C) of all 82 SHIELD galaxies
      • High angular resolution HI imaging (VLA/B) of 32 SHIELD galaxies
  • Data management and dissemination plan
    • NSF AAG/RUI award made on August 15, 2020 (award summary)
    • Four full-time "post-baccalaureate" researchers lead the data reduction, imaging, and analysis efforts
    • Scholarly manuscripts and final data products will be made available via this site
