A Low Resolution Hydrogen-line Survey of the Magellanic System. I. Observations and Digital Reduction Procedures

Abstract

A survey of neutral hydrogen in the Clouds of Magellan has been made using a digital recording system in conjunction with a multichannel receiver and a 21 ft aerial. The system has been developed for use with the 210 ft radio telescope of the Australian National Radio Astronomy Observatory at Parkes, N.S.W.
