ADC_Keywords: Galaxies, radio ; H I data ; Rotational velocities
Description:
The catalog contains all published HI observations (21cm) of external
galaxies published until the middle of 1988. It contains almost 20,000
entries for over 10,000 galaxies based on more than 570 references.
The HI data are basically just as they were originally published -- no
numerical conversions were made and no error correction was attempted.

Note (1): Different parameters may occur in that column, depending on Param:
Int = integrated flux = ∫(S.dv) in Jy.km/s
FH = reduced HI mass FH in 10+6solMass/Mpc2
MHI = total H1 mass in 10+9solMass
LogM = log of total HI mass in [solMass]
S = upper limit for the peak flux in mJy
Note (2): the Velocity frame is numbered as follows:
0 = Heliocentric velocity (HI radial velocity)
1 = RC2 system (HI radial velocity)
2 = Local Group velocity (HI radial velocity)
3 = LSR Velocity (HI radial velocity)
5 = Heliocentric velocity (optical radial velocity)
6 = RC2 system (optical radial velocity)
7 = Local Group velocity (optical radial velocity)
8 = LSR Velocity (optical radial velocity)
Note (3):
A range of searched velocities is provided when the HI line could
not be found -- indicated by a minus (-) in column f_RV
Note (4): the code used for the width definition is as follows:
1, 2 = 0%
3 = 50% of average flux (used only by some Arecibo observers)
4, 6 = 20% of peak flux
5, 7 = 25% of peak flux
8 = Rectangle model (used by some Nancay observers)
9 = Triangle model (used by some Nancay observers)
Note (5): the telescope used is coded as follows:
A = Arecibo 1000 ft, "circular" feed
a = Arecibo 1000 ft, "flat" feed
B = NRAO Green Bank 140 ft
C = Cambridge 1/2 mile, 1 mile, or 5 km
D = Dwingelo 25m
E = Effelsberg 100m
F = Dominion Radio Astrophysical Observatory 25m
G = NRAO Green Bank 300 ft
H = Agassiz Harvard 60 ft
I = I.A.R. 30m
J = Jodrell Bank 250 ft
K = Jodrell Bank Mark II
L = Potts Hill 36 ft
M = Hat Creek 85 ft
N = Nancay 30-300m
O = Owens Valley
P = Parkes 64m
Q = Murraybank 21 ft
R = RATAN 600m
S = Ohio State 260 ft
V = NRAO Very Large Array (VLA, 27x25m)
W = Westerbork S.R.T. (15x25m)
X = NRAO Green Bank Interferometer (3x85ft)
Note (6): some graphical representation of the observations (e.g. a
profile) and/or a photograph of this object is given in the reference,
