Description


The Galactic Plane Infrared Polarization Survey (GPIPS) covers 76 sq. deg. of the first Galactic quadrant midplane, 18<l<56 deg and -1<b<1 deg, in H-band (1.6 micron) linear polarimetry to reveal the plane-of-the-sky orientation of the magnetic field in diffuse and denser atomic and molecular clouds. The Survey consists of 3234 overlapping 10x10 arcmin fields observed using the Mimir instrument on the 1.8 m Perkins telescope.
