Abstract:
;
) were completed in December 1998. Single dish observations of the full survey region (
;
) with the Parkes Radio Telescope were completed in March 2000. We present a sample of SGPS H I data with particular attention to the smallest and largest scale structures seen in absorption and emission, respectively. On the large scale, we detect many prominent H I shells. On the small scale, we note extremely compact, cold clouds seen in H I self-absorption. We explore how these two classes of objects probe opposite ends of the H I spatial power spectrum.
