... Much of the cold atomic hydrogen in the interstellar medium can only be studied skiagraph- ically as H i self-absorption (HISA) shadows against background H i 21cm emission. ... The brightness of the H i behind the HISA is estimated from emission adjacent to the HISA features in space and velocity, and this background intensity is then used to nd the amount of absorption and various gas properties. ... The strongest HISA appears to congregate in lamentary complexes. ... Strong vs. ...
