INVS (IGPS Narrow Vertical Structure survey)
Write:<<INVS GLLL.l+BB.b+VVV>>
N: 10
Object:HI vertical  (SIMBAD class: HI = HI (21cm) Source)
Stat:is completely incorporated in Simbad
Note:INVS=International galactic plane survey Narrow Vertical structure Survey. Search for narrow vertical structures in HI cubes of the Canadian Galactic Plane Survey (CGPS).
Notes:International Plane Survey (IGPS, http://www.ras.ucalgary.ca/IGPS/) we use HI cubes from the Canadian Galactic Plane Survey (CGPS) for our search.
In "INVS", "Narrow" stands for a width:length ratio of 1:3, and "vertical" represents that most objects make > 45 degrees to the Galactic plane.
The main idea is to convey that the object stands out of the plane, motivated by our study of the disk-halo connection. The position quoted belongs to the end of the object that is closest to the Galactic plane. The velocity quoted is the centroid of velocities. If one object has more then one Gaussians, one would quote the center of the dominant component. The total number of these objects may increase, depending upon similar searches in the future.
