摘要:

帕克斯星系全天巡天(英语:Parkes Galactic All-Sky Survey,简称GASS)是利用帕克斯射电望远镜对南半球天空中星系氢原子(HI)辐射进行的一次巡天,覆盖了赤纬$δ\leq 1^{\circ}$。该测量覆盖了$2π$球面度,有效角分辨率为~ 16“,速度分辨率为1.0 km/s,均方根亮温噪声为57 mK。GASS是迄今为止在南部天空中对银河系HI辐射进行的最灵敏、最高角分辨率的调查。在本文中,我们概述了调查目标,描述了观察和数据分析,并提出了第一阶段的数据发布。该数据产品是一个单一的立方体在全分辨率,不校正杂散辐射。调查和其他数据产品的光谱在网上公开。

英文摘要:

The Parkes Galactic All-Sky Survey (GASS) is a survey of Galactic atomic hydrogen (HI) emission in the Southern sky covering declinations $δ\leq 1^{\circ}$ using the Parkes Radio Telescope. The survey covers $2π$ steradians with an effective angular resolution of ~16', at a velocity resolution of 1.0 km/s, and with an rms brightness temperature noise of 57 mK. GASS is the most sensitive, highest angular resolution survey of Galactic HI emission ever made in the Southern sky. In this paper we outline the survey goals, describe the observations and data analysis, and present the first-stage data release. The data product is a single cube at full resolution, not corrected for stray radiation. Spectra from the survey and other data products are publicly available online.
