Scientific paper

The Undergraduate ALFALFA team is an NSF-funded collaboration of 14 institutions that supports undergraduate research using data from the Arecibo Legacy Fast ALFA (ALFALFA) survey. As part of this project, we are examining MKW 11, a galaxy group with an unusual, irregular X-ray distribution centered on what appears to be an X-ray bright tidal filament. Its optical velocity distribution is large and non-Gaussian, suggesting that it is in the process of merging. Here we present the position and velocity structure of MKW 11 using the radio sources in the blind ALFALFA survey. Besides a complicated structure, our results suggest a deficiency of HI gas in galaxies that are near the center of the group.
