NOIRCAT – The Northern HIPASS Optical/IR Catalogue
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present the Northern HIPASS Optical/InfraRed CATalogue (NOIRCAT), an optical/near-infrared counterpart to the Northern HIPASS catalogue (NHICAT). Of the 1002 sources in NHICAT, 655 (66%) have optical counterparts with matching optical velocities. A further 85 (8%) sources have optical counterparts with matching velocities from previous radio emission-line surveys. We find a correlation between the gas and stellar content of the NOIRCAT sources. Our Hi-selected sample of isolated galaxies also present a wider range in near-infrared (NIR) colours than previous optically-selected studies of regular, isolated galaxies. All Hi detections in optically unobscured fields could be matched with either a NED optical counterpart, or a galaxy visible in POSSII or DSS images. However, as over 200 of these matched galaxies have no velocity information, further follow-up observations are needed to confirm the matches, and hence confirm or deny the existence of dark galaxies in this dataset.

The 1000 Brightest HIPASS Galaxies: Newly Cataloged Galaxies
The H i Parkes All-Sky Survey (HIPASS) is a blind 21-cm survey for extragalactic neutral hydrogen, covering the whole southern sky. The HIPASS Bright Galaxy Catalog (BGC; Koribalski et al. 2002) is a subset of HIPASS and contains the 1000 H i-brightest (peak flux density) galaxies. Here we present the 138 HIPASS BGC galaxies, which had no redshift measured prior to the Parkes multibeam H i surv...
متن کاملHipass Detection of an Intergalactic Gas Cloud in the Ngc 2442 Group
We report the discovery, from the H I Parkes All-Sky Survey (HIPASS), of a gas cloud associated with the asymmetric spiral galaxy NGC 2442. This object, designated HIPASS J0731–69, contains ∼ 10 M⊙ of H I, or nearly one-third as much atomic gas as NGC 2442 itself. No optical counterpart to any part of HIPASS J0731–69 has yet been identified, consistent with the gas being diffuse, and with its s...
متن کاملApplying Machine Learning to Catalogue Matching in Astrophysics
We present the results of applying automated machine learning techniques to the problem of matching different object catalogues in astrophysics. In this study we take two partially matched catalogues where one of the two catalogues has a large positional uncertainty. The two catalogues we used here were taken from the HI Parkes All Sky Survey (HIPASS), and SuperCOSMOS optical survey. Previous w...
متن کاملThe HIPASS catalogue: ΩHI and environmental effects on the H I mass function of galaxies
We use the catalogue of 4315 extragalactic H I 21-cm emission line detections from HIPASS to calculate the most accurate measurement of the H I mass function (HIMF) of galaxies to date. The completeness of the HIPASS sample is well characterised, which enables an accurate calculation of space densities. The HIMF is fitted with a Schechter function with parameters: α = −1.37 ± 0.03 ± 0.05, log(M...
متن کاملLocal Structures as Revealed by HIPASS
The HI Parkes All-Sky Survey (HIPASS) gives an unprecedented view of the local large-scale structures in the southern sky. I will review the results from the HIPASS Bright Galaxy Catalog (BGC, Koribalski et al. 2004) and the first version of the deep catalog (HICAT, Meyer et al. 2004) with particular emphasis on galaxy structures across the Zone of Avoidance. Some previously hardly noticed gala...
