HI Catalogs : Publications
The 21-cm multibeam system on the
Parkes 64-m telescope is
a fantastic instrument to carry out large-scale HI surveys of the sky.
The 13 beams of the multibeam receiver and the 64 MHz bandwidth (divided
into 1024 channels) of the dedicated correlator provide both high speed
and good velocity coverage to survey the Local Universe. (We note that
the correlator is currently being upgraded to 192 MHz.) The Parkes
multibeam system was used for numerous large-scale HI surveys from which
the respective science teams extracted galaxy catalogs, some of which are
made available here.
(A) the `HI Parkes All Sky Survey' (HIPASS)
- version 1 (Barnes et al. 2001)
Parameters: DEC < +25 degr;
velocity range: cz = -1200 to 12700 km/s;
integration time per pointing = 8 minutes;
beam approx. 15.5 arcmin;
rms approx. 13 mJy/beam
Resulting Catalogs:
- the
`HIPASS Bright Galaxy Catalog' (HIPASS BGC)
by
Koribalski et al. (2004) - includes optical IDs !
- the `HIPASS High-Velocity Clouds'
(HIPASS HVCs)
by
Putman et al. (2002) - includes only sources with
|v_lsr| < 500 km/s and > 90 km/s ; based
on smoothed HIPASS data (velocity resolution = 26.4 km/s).
- the `HIPASS Catalog'
(HICAT)
by
Meyer et al. (2004) and
Zwaan et al. 2004) - includes only sources with
v_gsr > 300 km/s;
based on smoothed HIPASS data (velocity resolution = 26.4 km/s).

- the `Northern HIPASS Catalog'
(NHICAT)
by
Wong et al. (2006) - includes only sources with
v_gsr > 300 km/s;
based on smoothed HIPASS data (velocity resolution = 26.4 km/s).
