The gaseous haloes of disc galaxies

Abstract:
The study of gas outside the plane of disc galaxies is crucial to understanding the circulation of material within a galaxy and between galaxies and the intergalactic environment. We present new HI observations of the edge-on galaxy NGC891, which show an extended halo component lagging behind the disc in rotation. We compare these results for NGC891 with other detections of gaseous haloes. Finally, we present a dynamical model for the formation of extra-planar gas.
