HI4PI spectra and column density maps

Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)

Measurement of the Galactic neutral atomic hydrogen (HI) column density, NHI, and brightness temperatures, Tb, is of high scientific value for a broad range of astrophysical disciplines.

Description

In the past two decades, one of the most-used legacy HI datasets has been the Leiden/Argentine/Bonn Survey (LAB). We release the HI 4-pi survey (HI4PI), an all-sky database of Galactic HI, which supersedes the LAB survey.

The HI4PI survey is based on data from the recently completed first coverage of the Effelsberg-Bonn HI Survey (EBHIS) and from the third revision of the Galactic All-Sky Survey (GASS). EBHIS and GASS share similar angular resolution and match well in sensitivity. Combining both, they are ideally suited to be a successor to LAB.

The new HI4PI survey outperforms the LAB in angular resolution (16.1', FWHM) and sensitivity (43mK RMS). Moreover, it has full spatial sampling and thus overcomes a major issue of LAB, which severely undersamples the sky. We publish all-sky column density maps of the neutral atomic hydrogen in the Milky Way, along with full spectroscopic data, in several map projections including HEALPix.
