Targeted deep surveys of high Galactic latitude HI with the GBT


Abstract in English

Over 800 sq. deg. of high Galactic latitude sky have been mapped at 21 cm with the Robert C. Byrd Green Bank Telescope (GBT). An improved knowledge of the telescopes beam characteristics has allowed us to reliably map not only regions of high column density, but also such regions as ELAIS N1, a targeted Spitzer field, which have very low HI column density. The additional fields we have observed cover a cross-section of dynamically and chemically interesting regions as indicated by the presence of intermediate/high velocity gas and/or anomalous far-IR (dust) colour.
