Abstract:
The HI Parkes All-Sky Survey (HIPASS) catalogue forms the largest uniform catalogue of HI
sources compiled to date, with 4315 sources identified purely by theirHI content. The catalogue
data comprise the southern region δ < + 2◦ of HIPASS, the first blind HI survey to cover the
entire southern sky. The rms noise for this survey is 13 mJy beam−1 and the velocity range is
−1280 to 12 700 km s−1. Data search, verification and parametrization methods are discussed along with a description of measured quantities. Full catalogue data are made available to the astronomical community including positions, velocities, velocity widths, integrated fluxes and peak flux densities. Also available are on-sky moment maps, position–velocity moment maps
and spectra of catalogue sources. A number of local large-scale features are observed in the
space distribution of sources, including the super-Galactic plane and the Local Void. Notably,
large-scale structure is seen at low Galactic latitudes, a region normally obscured at optical
wavelengths.
