Abstract

We present a current catalog of 21 cm H i line sources extracted from the Arecibo Legacy Fast Arecibo L -band Feed Array (ALFALFA) survey over ∼2800 deg 2 of sky: the α.40 catalog. Covering 40% of the final survey area, the α.40 catalog contains 15,855 sources in the regions 07 h 30 m < R.A. < 16 h 30 m , +04° < decl. <+16°, and +24° < decl. <+28° and 22 h < R.A. < 03 h , +14° < decl. <+16°, and +24° < decl. < + 32°. Of those, 15,041 are certainly extragalactic, yielding a source density of 5.3 galaxies per deg 2 , a factor of 29 improvement over the catalog extracted from the H i Parkes All-Sky Survey. In addition to the source centroid positions, H i line flux densities, recessional velocities, and line widths, the catalog includes the coordinates of the most probable optical counterpart of each H i line detection, and a separate compilation provides a cross-match to identifications given in the photometric and spectroscopic catalogs associated with the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 7. Fewer than 2% of the extragalactic H i line sources cannot be identified with a feasible optical counterpart; some of those may be rare OH megamasers at 0.16 < z < 0.25. A detailed analysis is presented of the completeness, width-dependent sensitivity function and bias inherent of the α.40 catalog. The impact of survey selection, distance errors, current volume coverage, and local large-scale structure on the derivation of the H i mass function is assessed. While α.40 does not yet provide a completely representative sampling of cosmological volume, derivations of the H i mass function using future data releases from ALFALFA will further improve both statistical and systematic uncertainties.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
