Fig. III.4.3: »Channel maps« <strong>for</strong> one of the Things galaxies<br />

(M 101). Each panel shows HI emission at a given velocity<br />

(velocities are shown in the upper right of each panel). This<br />

velocity in<strong>for</strong>mation can be used to create maps of the average<br />
