We study the relationship between the H i specific angular momentum ($\rm j_{g}$) and the H i mass ($\rm M_{g}$) for a sample of galaxies with well-measured H i rotation curves. We find that the relation is well described by an unbroken power law $\rm j_{g}$ ∝ $\rm M_{g}$α over the entire mass range (107–1010.5 M⊙), with α = 0.89 ± 0.05 (scatter 0.18 dex). This is in reasonable agreement with models which assume that evolutionary processes maintain H i discs in a marginally stable state. The… Expand

In a $\Lambda$CDM Universe, the specific stellar angular momentum ($j_\ast$) and stellar mass ($M_\ast$) of a galaxy are correlated as a consequence of the scaling existing for dark matter haloesExpand
The influence of angular momentum and environment on the H i gas of late-type galaxies
We use high-resolution HI data from the WHISP survey to study the HI and angular momentum properties of a sample of 114 late-type galaxies. We explore the specific baryonic angular momentum --Expand
