KAT-7 Science Verification: Cold Gas, Star Formation, and Substructure
  in the Nearby Antlia Cluster
  The Antlia Cluster is a nearby, dynamically young structure, and its
proximity provides a valuable opportunity for detailed study of galaxy and
group accretion onto clusters. We present a deep HI mosaic completed as part of
spectral line commissioning of the Karoo Array Telescope (KAT-7), and identify
infrared counterparts from the WISE extended source catalog to study neutral
atomic gas content and star formation within the cluster. We detect 37 cluster
members out to a radius of ~0.9 Mpc with M_HI > 5x10^7 M_Sun. Of these, 35 are
new HI detections, 27 do not have previous spectroscopic redshift measurements,
and one is the Compton thick Seyfert II, NGC 3281, which we detect in HI
absorption. The HI galaxies lie beyond the X-ray emitting region 200 kpc from
the cluster center and have experienced ram pressure stripping out to at least
600 kpc. At larger radii, they are distributed asymmetrically suggesting
accretion from surrounding filaments. Combining HI with optical redshifts, we
perform a detailed dynamical analysis of the internal substructure, identify
large infalling groups, and present the first compilation of the large scale
distribution of HI, and star forming galaxies within the cluster. We find that
elliptical galaxy NGC 3268 is at the center of the oldest substructure and
argue that NGC 3258 and its companion population are more recent arrivals.
Through the presence of HI and on-going star formation, we rank substructures
with respect to their relative time since accretion onto Antlia.
