The survey is presented in two sets of maps, in equatorial and
galactic coordinates, following approximately the format of
Haslam et al.
(1982) survey. In equatorial coordinates (1950 Epoch) the survey
consists of a
set of seven
maps covering , 4 hours in right
ascension each, and the south polar
region
(Fig. 1 (click here)). A grid of galactic
coordinates is superposed to each map.
In galactic coordinates the survey consists of a set of eight maps
(Fig. 2 (click here)). Six maps
cover the longitude ranges
and
, and the
latitude ranges
,
, and
.
Two additional maps cover the galactic poles in the ranges
,
and
. A grid of equatorial
coordinates is superposed to each map.
The contour lines correspond to brightness temperature and are labelled as follows: up to 6000 K in 250 K steps, labelled every 1500 K; from 6000 K to 10000 K in 400 K steps, labelled every 2000 K; from 10000 K to 20000 K in 1000 K steps, labelled every 10000 K; from 20000 K to 76000 K in 2000 K steps, labelled every 20000 K.
Arrows on contour lines indicate directions of decreasing temperature. Figure 3 (click here) presents contour lines for the whole survey in equal-area projection of galactic coordinates. Figure 4 (click here) shows a color coded map of the whole survey in equal-area projection of galactic coordinates.
