The Content of the HI Data



The page gives an overview of the data, and acts as a repository to download data.

Data Names

The data cubes that can be downloaded here are the result of a data reduction using 5 different combinations of Robust weighting (Robust 0, Robust 0.4, Robust 6, indicated by "Rob" in the table) and tapering (no tapering, 0, 30 arcsec tapering, "30"). We use a source finder to produce a mask that outlines tentative volumes with emission in the data cube. Using that mask, a total-intensity map (moment-0) and a velocity field is calculated. Furthermore, we calculate the source total HI fluxes within tentatively detected volumes.

The file names (which differ from the entries in the tables) are coded such that they identify the data sets:
jrrrrrr_dddddd_rl.m_tnn_suffix.fits(.gz)
denotes a data set from an observation of the main target with


For each weighting scheme, we provide

Which data?

The active people are currently mostly looking at the Robust 0.0/taper 30 arcsec and Robust 0.4/untapered data.
