Foreground: HI Column Density

HI4PI HI Column Density

The HI 4-PI Survey (HI4PI) is a 21-cm all-sky survey of neutral atomic hydrogen. It is constructed from the Effelsberg-Bonn HI Survey (EBHIS), made with the 100-m radio telescope at Effelsberg/Germany, and the Galactic All-Sky Survey (GASS), observed with the Parkes 64-m dish in Australia. HI4PI comprises HI line emission from the Milky Way. This dataset is the atomic neutral hydrogen (HI) column density map derived from HI4PI (|v_LSR|< 600 km/s).

The survey data is available in a FITS binary extension table, ordered according to the HEALPix scheme. Each record in the table has the following fields:
