Abstract

The Green Bank Telescope (GBT) HII Region Discovery Survey has doubled the number of known HII regions in the Galactic zone 343{deg}<=l<=67{deg} with |b|<=1{deg}. We detected 603 discrete hydrogen radio recombination line (RRL) components at 9GHz (3cm) from 448 targets. Our targets were selected based on spatially coincident mid-infrared and 20cm radio continuum emission. Such sources are almost invariably HII regions; we detected hydrogen RRL emission from 95% of our target sample. The sensitivity of the GBT and the power of its spectrometer together made this survey possible. Here, we provide a catalog of the measured properties of the RRL and continuum emission from the survey nebulae. The derived survey completeness limit, 180mJy at 9GHz, is sufficient to detect all HII regions ionized by single O-stars to a distance of 12kpc. We discovered 34 first quadrant negative-velocity HII regions, which lie at extreme distances from the Sun and appear to be part of the Outer Arm. We found RRL emission from 208 Spitzer GLIMPSE 8.0um "bubble" sources, 65 of which have been cataloged previously. It thus appears that nearly all GLIMPSE bubbles are HII regions and that ~50% of all Galactic HII regions have a bubble morphology at 8.0um.
