The Arecibo Legacy Fast ALFA Survey: I. Science Goals, Survey Design and Strategy
TL;DR: The recently initiated Arecibo Legacy Fast ALFA (ALFALFA) survey as mentioned in this paper is designed to map 7000 square degrees of the high galactic latitude sky visible from the AreCibo, providing a HI line spectral database covering the redshift range between -1600 km/s and 18,000 km/S with 5 km/σ resolution, which is especially useful in synergy with wide area surveys conducted at other wavelengths.

TL;DR: The ALFALFA project as discussed by the authors uses a two-pass, minimum intrusion, drift scan observing technique that samples the same region of sky at two separate epochs to aid in the discrimination of cosmic signals from noise and terrestrial interference.

TL;DR: The alpha.40 catalog of 21 cm HI line sources extracted from the ALFALFA survey over ~2800 square degrees of sky is presented in this paper, which includes the coordinates of the most probable optical counterpart of each HI line detection, and a separate compilation provides a crossmatch to identifications given in the photometric and spectroscopic catalogs associated with the SDS data.

A Digital Archive of HI 21 cm Line Spectra of Optically-targeted Galaxies
TL;DR: In this paper, a homogeneous compilation of HI spectral parameters extracted from global 21 cm line spectra for some 9000 galaxies in the local universe (heliocentric velocity -200 < V_Sun < 28,000 km/s) obtained with a variety of large single dish radio telescopes but reanalyzed using a single set of parameter extraction algorithms.
