About the SGPS Data Servers
The Southern Galactic Plane Survey is a large-scale project to image the HI
spectral line and 21 cm continuum emission in the Southern Milky Way
(McClure-Griffiths et al. 2005, ApJS, 158, 178). The data were obtained
with the Australia Telescope Compact Array and the Parkes Radiotelscope for
sensitivity to angular scales from 2 arcminutes to several degrees.
Information about the HI data products, including coverage maps anda
description of the data products, is available in McClure-Griffiths et
al. (2005). Information about the continuum data is available in Haverkorn
et al. (2006)
Observations were conducted between December 1998 and June 2001. | |
