Neutral Hydrogen Observations of Low Surface Brightness Galaxies around M101 and NGC 5485
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract We present atomic hydrogen (H i) observations using the Robert C. Byrd Green Bank Telescope along the lines of sight to 27 low surface brightness (LSB) dwarf galaxy candidates discovered in optical searches around M101. We detect H i reservoirs in five targets and place stringent upper limits on the remaining 22, implying that they are gas-poor. The distances to our H i detections range from 7 to 150 Mpc, demonstrating the utility of wide-bandpass H i observations as a follow-up tool. The systemic velocities of three detections are consistent with that of the NGC 5485 group behind M101, and we suggest that our 15 nondetections with lower distance limits from the optical are associated with and have been stripped by that group. We find that the gas richness of confirmed M101 satellites are broadly consistent with those of the Milky Way satellites, as well as with those of satellites around other hosts of comparable mass, when survey completeness is taken into account. This suggests that satellite quenching and gas stripping proceed similarly around halos of similar mass, in line with theoretical expectations.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
