This standardized document follows the rules of the Standard Description for Astronomical Catalogues. For those having to work on this catalogue using FORTRAN programs, this ReadMe file can be transformed into a f77-compliant program which reads the files making up this catalogue, in two versions: either a f77 program loading whole files into arrays, or a f77-program reading each data file line by line.

Abstract:
    We present the final data release of the high sensitivity
    {lambda}21-cm neutral hydrogen survey of the sky south of
    {delta}<=-25°. A total of 50980 positions lying on a
    galactic coordinate grid with points spaced by
        ({Delta}l, {Delta}b)=(0.5°/cosb, 0.5°)
    were observed with the 30m dish of the Instituto Argentino de
    Radioastronomica (IAR). The angular resolution of the survey is
    HPBW=0.5° and the velocity coverage spans the interval -450km/s
    to +400km/s (LSR). The velocity resolution is 1.27km/s and the final
    rms noise of the entire database is 0.07K. The data are corrected for
    stray radiation and converted to brightness temperatures.

Description:
    All 50980 observed profiles have been combined to a single fits data
    cube, iar_1008.fits. It contains the Argentine survey corrected for
    baseline and stray radiation as used for the LAB combined database, in
    the original observed velocity resolution.
