The H I Parkes All Sky Survey (HIPASS) is a large survey for neutral atomic hydrogen (H I).[1] Most of the data was taken between 1997 and 2002 using CSIRO's 64 m Parkes Telescope. HIPASS covered 71% of the sky and identified more than 5000 galaxies; the major galaxy catalogs are: the "HIPASS Bright Galaxy Catalog" (HIPASS BGC),[2] the southern HIPASS catalog (HICAT),[3] and the northern HIPASS catalog (NHICAT)[4] Discoveries include over 5000 galaxies (incl. several new galaxies), the Leading Arm of the Magellanic Stream and a few gas clouds devoid of stars.
