Description
The full sky 100 micron map is a reprocessed composite of the COBE/DIRBE
and IRAS/ISSA maps, with the zodiacal foreground and confirmed point
sources removed. Artifacts from the IRAS scan pattern were removed.
The result of these manipulations is a map with DIRBE-quality calibration
and IR AS resolution. Provenance: David J. Schlegel, Douglas P. Finkbeiner
and Marc Davis, Princeton University and University of California, Berkeley. This is a service of NASA HEASARC.
