We report on the discovery of H i in absorption toward the gigamaser galaxy TXS 2226-184 using the Very Large Array. The absorption appears to consist of two components—one with a width of 125 km s^-1 and one broader (420 km s^-1)—both toward the compact radio source in the ...
We present HST/WFPC2 images in Halpha+[NII]6548,6583 lines and continuum\nradiation and a VLA map at 8 GHz of the H2O gigamaser galaxy TXS2226-184. This\ngalaxy has the most luminous H2O maser emission known to date. Our red\ncontinuum images reveal a highly elongated galaxy with a ...
