Neutral hydrogen in dwarf galaxies - I. The spatial distribution of HI

This paper is the rst in a series presenting a sample of 30 late-type dwarf galaxies, observed with the Westerbork Synthesis Radio Telescope (WSRT) in the 21-cm line of neutral atomic hydrogen (HI). The sample itself, the HI content of and the HI distribution in the sample galaxies are briefly discussed. Four sample galaxies were also detected in the continuum.
