In this data paper we present the results of an extensive 21 cm-line
synthesis imaging survey of 43 spiral galaxies in the nearby Ursa Major
cluster using the Westerbork Synthesis Radio Telescope. Detailed
kinematic information in the form of position-velocity diagrams and
rotation curves is presented in an atlas together with HI channel maps,
21 cm continuum maps, global HI profiles, radial HI surface density
profiles, integrated HI column density maps, and HI velocity fields. The
relation between the corrected global HI linewidth and the rotational
velocities and Vflat as derived from the rotation curves is investigated.
Inclination angles obtained from the optical axis ratios are compared to those
derived from the inclined HI disks and the HI velocity fields. The
galaxies were not selected on the basis of their HI content but solely
on the basis of their cluster membership and inclination which should be
suitable for a kinematic analysis. The observed galaxies provide a
well-defined, volume limited and equidistant sample, useful to
investigate in detail the statistical properties of the Tully-Fisher
relation and the dark matter halos around them.
