Abstract
A sample of HI massive galaxies (M HI > 2 x 1010 M ⊙) is selected from HIPASS. High resolution HI observations were made to investigate the general characteristics of these galaxies, including their HI structure and dynamics, and to determine their stellar counterpart. All galaxies detected in the follow-up matched with an optical counterpart, and no primordial HI clouds were found.
