Collaborative Research: Understanding the extreme diversity of atomic hydrogen depletion t — NSF Award to Johns Hopkins University
Stars form out of clouds of gas found in galaxies. Most of this gas is in the form of cold atoms of hydrogen, but before stars can form, this gas must undergo several chemical and physical processes that are poorly understood. The investigators leading this proposal will analyze data from both the NSF-funded Green Bank

| Abstract | Stars form out of clouds of gas found in galaxies. Most of this gas is in the form of cold atoms of hydrogen, but before stars can form, this gas must undergo several chemical and physical processes that are poorly understood. The investigators leading this proposal will analyze data from both the NSF-funded Green Bank Telescope (GBT) and the Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA), which can be used to measure the amounts of hydrogen gas in a broad sample of galaxies. They will use this to test h |
