| Abstract | Over the past three years, a survey of spiral galaxies characterized by disks of unusually low surface brightness (LSB) has been conducted. These LSB spiral galaxies have luminosities in the range from -20 to -17 (MB), and have projected central disk surface brightness values approximately three times smaller, on average, than normal spirals in the same luminosity range. Knowledge of the gas content of LSBs is important in connection with the study of processes which influence star formation, because the relative gas and stellar content of a galaxy provides one indication of the degree to which star formation has proceeded. Consequently, as a first step toward understanding of the considered systems, an H I survey of the available LSB sample was conducted. The results of this survey are reported. |
