We have identified 84% of the 4315 HI detected sourcesWe have identified 3 possible candidates for “Dark Galaxies”
SUMMARY
ASA CONFERENCE 2004 – BRISBANE, JULY 4-8TH, 2004
DARK GALAXIES & BLANK FIELDSDisney9 hypothesised that the baryonic content of the universe might be in low surface brightness galaxies know as “Dark Galaxies” HIPASS being a HI All-sky southern survey should find “Dark Galaxies” if they existDark Galaxies in HIPASS
HI strongly detected but no possible optical counterpart found.
We have found 3 candidate Dark GalaxiesWill be included in follow-up ATCA high resolution observationNot previously observed by the ATCANot listed in published catalogues or literature NED8
Not high velocity clouds
Matching Process – ADRICADRIC: Matlab Program to display and select optical data for each HIPASS4 sourceVelocities from NED8 and the 6dF Galaxy Survey7 used to match the HIPASS radio sources velocities to confirm optical matches When no velocities were available proximity to the HIPASS co-ordinates and other image features were used to assist optical matching
Input DataRadio:
HIPASS catalogue 1,2 - 4315 neutral hydrogen (HI) detected sources
Optical: SuperCOSMOS5: Optical images SExtractor6: image analysis with BRI photometry 6dF Galaxy Survey7: velocity matching NED Database8: velocity matching

WHERE TO FROM HERE?
Screen shot of the ADRIC program showing 15’ SuperCOSMOS field centred on a HIPASS source, with published velocities in red, blue ellipses from SExtractor catalogue (selected galaxy in yellow). The buttons classify the selected optical counterpart (allowing cases of poor photometry due to merged objects or poor image segmentation to be noted).
When Optical Matches Are Confused?ATCA high resolution observation are carried out where possible48 observations of “Confused Sources” completed in August 2003A further 100 ATCA high resolution observations have been applied for
ATCA HI contour map overlaying DSS image. The large galaxy is the correct optical match for the HIPASS HI detection.

We have searched for optical counterparts for the 4315 HI Parkes All-Sky 21cm Survey (HIPASS4) detections We used images from the SuperCOSMOS optical southern sky survey5

• 3 candidate “Dark Galaxies” compared to optical counterparts for HIPASS4 galaxies. These objects are very different from the optically matched galaxies.• Their flux puts them outside the range for the optical matches objects • The apparent blue magnitude limits for the matched galaxies and SuperCOSMO5 images are 18 & 22 respectively, hence the blue magnitude for these objects may be <22.
