HI composite survey survey collection

Composite all-sky map of neutral hydrogen column density (N_HI), formed from the Leiden/Dwingeloo HI survey data (Hartmann & Burton 1997) and the composite N_HI map of Dickey and Lockman (1990). The two datasets are not matched in sensitivity or resolution: note that discontinuities exist in the constructed composite map. A pixel mask is provided to indicate which dataset was used for each location on the sky. Hartmann & Burton provide a velocity integrated (-450 km/s %3C V_lsr %3C +400 km/s) HI brightness temperature map in Galactic coordinates, sampled every 0.5 degrees. This entire data set was converted to N_HI by multiplying by their factor of 1.8224e18 K km s-1 cm-2 and then interpolated to pixel centers appropriate for HEALPix Nside=512. Since the Leiden/Dwingeloo survey does not have sky coverage for declinations %3C -30 deg., the lower resolution Dickey & Lockman map was also interpolated to HEALPix and used to fill in the coverage gap. The Dickey & Lockman N_HI map is itself a composite of several surveys which had been merged and averaged onto 1 deg. bins in Galactic coordinates. Their map includes emission between -250 km/s %3C V_lsr %3C 250 km/s (excluding the LMC and SMC). The Leiden/Dwingeloo Survey data were obtained from the CDS. The Dickey & Lockman map was obtained from NCSA ADIL.
