Pavo: Stellar Feedback in Action in a Low-mass Dwarf Galaxy

MeerKAT observations of the recently discovered, extremely low mass galaxy Pavo have revealed a neutral gas (H i ) reservoir that was undetected in archival H i single dish data. We measure Pavo’s H i mass as ${\mathrm{log}}\,{M}_{{\mathrm{HI}}}/{M}_{\odot }=5.79\pm 0.05$ , making it the lowest mass...
