Abstract:
    We present the Northern HIPASS (HI Parkes All-Sky Survey)
    Optical/Infrared Catalogue (NOIRCAT), an optical/near-infrared (NIR)
    counterpart to the Northern HIPASS Catalogue (NHICAT). Of the 1002
    sources in NHICAT, 655 (66 per cent) have optical counterparts with
    matching optical velocities. A further 85 (8 per cent) sources have
    optical counterparts with matching velocities from previous radio
    emission-line surveys.

Description:
    NOIRCAT catalog will be available later.

                             as galaxies with positional matches only

Note on *.dat: Flags as follows:
     5b = Only positional matches available to NED galaxies
     5c = Neither velocity nor positional matches to any galaxies listed in NED
