Scientific paper

We consider global HI and optical properties of about three hundred nearby galaxies with V$_0 < 500$ km/s. The majority of them have individual photometric distance estimates. The galaxy sample parameters, e.g. their linear diameters, their HI mass-to-luminosity ratio, their total mass-to-luminosity ratio, their mean optical surface brightness show some known and some new correlations implying a meaningful dynamic explanation. For the LV galaxies their HI mass and angular momentum follow a nearly linear relation expected for rotating gaseous disks being near the threashold of gravitational instability, favourable for active star formation.
