Abstract

The recently initiated Arecibo Legacy Fast ALFA (ALFALFA) survey aims to map ∼7000 deg 2 of the high Galactic latitude sky visible from Arecibo, providing a H I line spectral database covering the redshift range between -1600 and 18,000 km s -1 with ∼5 km s -1 resolution. Exploiting Arecibo's large ...
