We find solid evidence for diffuse Hi gas at substantial z heights in our Galaxy, with a velocity dispersion of σ = 60 km s −1 and a vertical projected column density of N Hi = 1.4 · 10 19 cm −2. This pervasive component of the emission spectrum could be identified in the Leiden/Dwingeloo 21-cm Survey (LDS) after increasing the accuracy further by correcting the observations for reflections fro...
