Description


We have determined accurate values of the Galactic neutral hydrogen column density, N_H_, toward 220 quasars and active galactic nuclei from 21cm H I measurements made on the 130 Foot Telescope (42.7m). Accurate values of N_H_ have now been obtained for the whole PG bright quasar sample and most quasars that have been observed by ROSAT and the Hubble Space Telescope through mid-1993. The spectra were corrected for stray 21cm radiation yielding values of N_H_ with a typical uncertainty of 1x10^19cm^-2 for high Galactic latitude directions. The H I column densities will be useful for correcting for interstellar opacity at UV and soft X-ray wavelengths, and for estimating the reddening and extinction toward these objects.
