Astrophysics and Space Science Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

The first part presents a brief review of the main HI properties of isolated, normal spiral galaxies and of the phenomena which seem to characterize and dominate their internal metabolism. In the second part attention is drawn to all those processes, such as tidal interactions, accretion and mergers, that depend on the galaxy environment and may play a significant role in galaxy formation and evolution. In the third part the observational evidence for the dark matter component of spiral galaxies is discussed.
