The survey covers the Galactic longitude range 212°<l<36° and Galactic latitudes |b|<5° to an rms sensitivity of 6mJy per beam per 27km/s channel and yields 883 galaxies to a recessional velocity of 12000km/s. The survey covers the sky within the HI Parkes All-Sky Survey (HIPASS) area to greater sensitivity, finding lower HI mass galaxies at all distances, and probing more completely the large-scale structures at and beyond the distance of the Great Attractor. Fifty-one percent of the HI detections have an optical/near-infrared (NIR) counterpart in the literature. A further 27% have new counterparts found in existing, or newly obtained, optical/NIR images. The counterpart rate drops in regions of high foreground stellar crowding and extinction, and for low HI mass objects. Only 8% of all counterparts have a previous optical redshift measurement. The HI sources are found independently of Galactic extinction, although the detection rate drops in regions of high Galactic continuum. The survey is incomplete below a flux integral of approximately 3.1Jy/km/s and mean flux density of approximately 21mJy, with 75% and 81% of galaxies being above these limits, respectively. Taking into account dependence on both flux and velocity width, and constructing a scaled dependence on the flux integral limit with velocity width (w0.74), completeness limits of 2.8Jy/km/s and 17mJy are determined, with 92% of sources above these limits. A notable new galaxy is HIZOA J1353-58, a possible companion to the Circinus galaxy. Merging this catalog with the similarly conducted northern extension, large-scale structures are delineated, including those within the Puppis and Great Attractor regions and the Local Void. Several newly identified structures are revealed here for the first time. Three new galaxy concentrations (NW1, NW2, and NW3) are key in confirming the diagonal crossing of the Great Attractor Wall between the Norma Cluster and the CIZA J1324.7-5736 cluster. Further contributors to the general mass overdensity in that area are two new clusters (CW1 and CW2) in the nearer Centaurus Wall, one of which forms part of the striking 180° (100h-1Mpc) long filament that dominates the southern sky at velocities of ∼3000 km/s, and the suggestion of a further wall at the Great Attractor distance at slightly higher longitudes. Description: The observations described here were taken with the 21cm multibeam receiver at the 64m Parkes radio telescope between 1997 March 22 and 2000 June 8, contemporaneously with the southern component of HIPASS. The observations cover the Galactic longitude range 212°<l<36° in 23 separate regions, each 8° wide in longitude, and cover the latitude range 5°>b>-5° with almost uniform sensitivity. The observational parameters are identical to those described in Donley et al. 2005 (cat. J/AJ/129/220), but are summarized in Table1 (see the text) for completeness. The central observing frequency was 1394.5MHz with a bandwidth of 64MHz and a channel spacing of 62.5kHz. This corresponds to a velocity range of -1280<cz<12740km/s and a channel spacing of 13.2km/s at zero redshift. After Hanning smoothing, the velocity resolution was 27km/s. The correlator integration time was 5s, resulting in negligible smearing along the scan direction. Table2 lists HI parameters and derived quantities for the galaxies. The counterparts are listed in Table3.

In this case, more than one galaxy is assumed to contribute to the HI profile (note that where the confusing partner was another of our HI detections we do not list them separately); c = HI detections with ambiguous cross-matches. More than one candidate was found but, judged by the profile, only ONE OF THEM is the likely counterpart. Note (2): Flag for counterpart in HIPASS defined as below: H = HIPASS catalogs (South, Meyer et al. 2004 (cat. VIII/73); North, Wong et al. 2006 (cat. VIII/89); h = Other HIPASS publications (Kilborn et al. 2002, cat. J/AJ/124/690), and Ryan-Weber et al. 2002, cat. J/AJ/124/1954). Note (3): NED=http://ned.ipac.caltech.edu/, and HyperLEDA=http://leda.univ-lyon1.fr/. Note (4): Note that Juraszek et al. (2000AJ....119.1627J 2000AJ....119.1627J) and Henning et al. (2000AJ....119.2686H 2000AJ....119.2686H) are not included here since their HI parameters are not independent of ours, but see flags in the S and Z columns. Note (5): Our main literature search to find counterparts for the HI detections was done using the NASA/IPAC Extragalactic Database (NED; http://ned.ipac.caltech.edu/). We submitted a list of the HI detections through the NED batch service using a 4.5' search radius (status 2013 August). For comparison, we also conducted a search with the SIMBAD (http://simbad.u-strasbg.fr/simbad/) Astronomical Database. There were only a couple of cases in which SIMBAD had a galaxy listed but NED did not. Note (6): For the visual search to find counterparts for the HI detections, we downloaded images from the SuperCOSMOS Sky Surveys (http://www-wfau.roe.ac.uk/sss/) (B band), the Digitized Sky Surveys (DSS; http://www3.cadc-ccda.hia-iha.nrc-cnrc.gc.ca/en/dss/) (R and I band), 2MASS http://irsa.ipac.caltech.edu/applications/2MASS/) (Ks band), as well as UKIDSS (http://surveys.roe.ac.uk/wsa/) and VISTA wherever possible (mainly Ks-band, but if not available, we used the band closest in wavelength). Finally, we added Ks-band images (as well as in J or H when necessary) that were obtained at the Infrared Survey Facility at Sutherland (IRSF) for the purpose of extracting photometry on all galaxies within the HIZOA search circles. A first set of this catalog was published by Williams et al. 201 (cat. J/MNRAS/443/41), and the rest is in preparation (Said et al. 2015MNRAS.447.1618S 2015MNRAS.447.1618S). Note that some published coordinates were not centered properly so we give the measured ones. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Byte-by-byte Description of file: notes.dat -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bytes Format Units Label Explanations -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1- 9 A9 --- HIZOA The HI Zone of Avoidance (HIZOA) identifier (JHHMM-DD format) (G1) 11-997 A987 --- Note Notes to individual detection -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Global Notes: Note (G1): HIZOA galaxies in the Great Attractor region which were first reported by Juraszek et al.
