Calabretta, Staveley-Smith & Barnes (2014) carefully reprocessed archival data
from the HI Parkes
All-Sky Survey (HIPASS) and the HI Zone of Avoidance (HIZOA) survey into
a new 1.4 GHz continuum map of the sky.
The wide sky coverage (Dec < +25 degr), high sensitivity of 40 mK (limited
by confusion), resolution of 14.4 arcmin and low level of artefacts make this
map ideal for numerous studies, including: merging into interferometer maps
to complete large-scale structures; decomposition of thermal and non-thermal
emission components from Galactic and extragalactic sources; and comparison
of emission regions with other frequencies. - The new CHIPASS 1.4 GHz radio
continuum map is available for download
here.
