Title Update on H I data collection from Green Bank, Parkes and Arecibo telescopes for the Cosmic Flows project
Authors Courtois, Hélà ̈ne M.; Tully, R. Brent
Abstract Cosmic Flows is an international multi-element project with the goal to map motions of galaxies in the local Universe. Kinematic information from observations in the radio H I line and photometry at optical or near-infrared bands are acquired to derive the large majority of distances that are obtained through the luminosity-linewidth or Tully-Fisher relation. This paper gathers additional observational radio data, frequently unpublished, retrieved from the archives of Green Bank, Parkes and Arecibo telescopes. Extracted H I profiles are consistently processed to produce linewidth measurements. Our current `All-Digital H I Catalog' contains a total of 20 343 H I spectra for 17 738 galaxies with 14 802 galaxies with accurate linewidth measurement useful for Tully-Fisher galaxy distances. This addition of 4117 new measurements represents an augmentation of 34 per cent compared to our last release.
