Abstract:
An important component of the Extragalactic Distance Database is a
group of catalogs related to the measurement of HI line profile
parameters. One of these is the All Digital HI catalog which contains
an amalgam of information from new data and old. The new data result
from observations with Arecibo and Parkes Telescopes and with the
Green Bank Telescope, including continuing input since the award of
the NRAO Cosmic Flows Large Program. The old data have been collected
from archives, wherever available, particularly the Cornell University
Digital HI Archive, the Nancay Telescope extragalactic HI archive, and
the Australia Telescope HI archive. The catalog currently contains
information on ∼15000 profiles relating to ∼13000 galaxies. The
channel-flux per channel files, from whatever source, is carried
through a common pipeline. The derived parameter of greatest interest
is Wm50, the profile width at 50% of the mean flux. After
appropriate adjustment, the parameter Wmx is derived, the line width
that statistically approximates the peak-to-peak maximum rotation
velocity before correction for inclination, 2Vmaxsini.
Description:
The single-beam Arecibo observations of 330 galaxies were undertaken
in two sessions: 1999 October and 2001 April.
The single-beam Robert C. Byrd GBT observations were carried out in
the course of two programs, one program from 2001 to 2002 and one
large project beginning from 2006 February and continuing through 2009
May. Roughly, 1000 galaxies have been observed between these programs.
A first observing run during 2009 January-February has been completed
culminating in observations of 58 galaxies with the Parkes Telescope.
