Abstract:
The Northern HIPASS catalogue (NHICAT) is the northern extension of
the HIPASS catalogue, HICAT. This extension adds the sky area between
the declination (Dec.) range of +2°<DE<+25°30' to HICAT's Dec.
range of -90°<DE<+2°. HIPASS is a blind HI survey using the
Parkes Radio Telescope covering 71 per cent of the sky (including this
northern extension) and a heliocentric velocity range of -1280 to
12700km/s. The entire Virgo Cluster region has been observed in the
Northern HIPASS. The galaxy catalogue, NHICAT, contains 1002 sources
with vhel>300km/s. Sources with -300<vhel<300km/s were excluded to
avoid contamination by Galactic emission. In total, the entire HIPASS
survey has found 5317 galaxies identified purely by their HI content.
The full galaxy catalogue is publicly available at
http://hipass.aus-vo.org.
Description:
HI line data for 1002 extragalactic sources north of DE<+2° are
presented. Data measured from the southern HIPASS images is provided,
including positions, radial velocities, velocity widths, integrated
fluxes and peak flux densities.
