The figures are in the zip attached to the latest release (see hi/main.pdf for the rotation curve): [https://github.com/joebarbere/jansky-research/releases/tag/v...](https://github.com/joebarbere/jansky-research/releases/tag/v...) or you can regenerate them yourself, python -m jansky_research.hi re-downloads the survey data and rebuilds the plot.

Sadly Claude overwrote a lot of the papers with synthetic numbers due to a bug, it will probably take a few days to rerun with the actual data. The HI paper should be corrected already though.

Regarding picking the right bump, the pipeline avoids Gaussian fitting and just takes the highest velocity where the signal is still clearly above the noise floor (fixed 2 K cutoff). Less clever than fitting, but avoids the solver wandering off and the noise bumps disappear. Claude picked that heuristic when building the module, and mentioned that it reads a few km/s high compared to proper spectral fitting (McClure-Griffiths & Dickey 2016, apparently) but it’s always high in the same direction.

I’m hoping to do a write up as soon as my Discovery Dish arrives and it sees first HI light.
