Scientific paper

Presented here are cuts through a composite galactocentric data cube which form the observational foundation for a quantitative investigation of the warped and flaring outer parts of the hydrogen layer in our Galaxy. The volume densities are shown in an atlas of cuts through the galactocentric data cube at constant R-values in θ, z coordinates, at constant θ-values in R, z coordinates, and at constant z-values in R, θ coordinates. Shown in addition are maps of the galactic arrangement in R, θ coordinates of projected H I surface densities, z-height of the gas-layer centroid, maximum volume density, z-height of the location of maximum volume density, as well as measures of the layer thickness; these additional maps are shown both for the case of a flat rotation curve determining the v-to-R conversion as well as for the case of an axisymmetric, rising outer-Galaxy rotation curve.
