H i emission and absorption in nearby, gas-rich galaxies – II. Sample completion and detection of intervening absorption in NGC 5156

We present the results of a survey for intervening 21 cm H i absorption in a sample of 10 nearby, gas-rich galaxies selected from the H i Parkes All-Sky Survey (HIPASS). This follows the six HIPASS galaxies searched in previous work and completes our full sample. In this paper, we searched for absorption along 17 sightlines with impact parameters between 6 and 46 kpc, making one new detection. We ...
