| HI4PI - Effelsberg and Parkes join forces |
| The HI 4π survey (HI4PI) is an all-sky
database of Galactic HI, superceding the Leiden-Dwingeloo-Bonn (LAB) survey.
For more information see the article "Under the
Milky Way: what a new map reveals about our galaxy" by Lister
Staveley-Smith (UWA/ICRAR) and the MPIfR press release. The release of a brand new view of
the Milky Way (see the A&A paper by the HI4PI collaboration: Ben Bekhti
et al. 2016) combines hydrogen surveys on the 64-m CSIRO Parkes radio telescope
and the 100-m Max-Planck radio telescope in Effelsberg, Germany. Photo credit: Norbert Junkes (MPIfR) and Shaun Amy (CSIRO) |
