A wide-field investigation into the HI content of galaxies

In my thesis I am investigating how the stellar content of galaxies relate to their gaseous component and the mechanisms that can transform a gas rich galaxy into a gas poor galaxy. The atomic hydrogen gas in galaxies is important, because it is the fuel for future star formation and so it is the lifeblood of a galaxy. My thesis provides new insight into gas poor galaxies and the mechanisms that are responsible for gas removal in galaxy groups.
