  The Northern HIPASS catalogue (NHICAT) is the northern extension of the
HIPASS catalogue, HICAT (Meyer et al. 2004). This extension adds the sky area
between the declination range of +2 deg < dec. < +25.5 deg to HICAT's
declination range of -90 deg < dec. < +2 deg. HIPASS is a blind HI survey using
the Parkes Radio Telescope covering 71% of the sky (including this northern
extension) and a heliocentric velocity range of -1,280 km/s to 12,700 km/s .
The entire Virgo Cluster region has been observed in the Northern HIPASS. The
galaxy catalogue, NHICAT, contains 1002 sources with v_hel > 300 km/s . Sources
with -300 km/s < v_hel < 300 km/s were excluded to avoid contamination by
Galactic emission. In total, the entire HIPASS survey has found 5317 galaxies
identified purely by their HI content. The full galaxy catalogue is
publicly-available at <http://hipass.aus-vo.org>.
