Scientific paper

A search has been conducted for low-level 11-cm continuum emission from the intergalactic gas stream between the spiral galaxy M81 and the irregular galaxy M82. No such emission was detected, which implies that the projected density ratio of continuum brightness to H I brightness in the intergalactic gas stream is at least not greater than in the disk of a typical spiral galaxy. The improved 2.7-GHz integrated flux density for M81 combined with a revised 4.8-GHz flux density defines the spectrum of this galaxy more accurately. A test for faint disk emission in the plane of M82 gives a negative result.
