| Abstract | A volume-limited catalog is constructed of normal spiral galaxies within the redshift interval 0-4000 km/s and brighter than 1.9 Jy at 60 microns to study relationships between fundamental galaxy properties and to map to the peculiar velocity field. Observations of 57 galazies are reported from this sample at Jodrell Bank, 42 of which resulted in detections, and study relationships between far-IR and neutral hydrogen properties. Gas and dynamical or halo mass are well correlated with each other and moderately so with far IR luminosity. A decrease in dynamical mass with increasing far-color temperature suggests that less massive, later-type systems enjoy higher specific star-formation rates. |
