Scientific paper

We present a list of candidates for previously undiscovered dwarf galaxies selected from a catalog of compact, isolated neutral hydrogen clouds identified in the GALFA-HI survey (Saul et al. 2010, in prep.). Clouds were scored based on how well their observational characteristics matched those of known Local Group dwarf galaxies, and in particular the characteristics of the only known ultra-faint galaxy to contain HI, Leo T. Follow-up observations will be conducted for the highest scoring dwarf candidates to determine if an associated stellar population exists. This research was partially funded by NSF grants AST-0917810 and AST-0904059.
