Description


The Extended IRAS Galaxy Atlas (EIGA) is an extension of the original IRAS Galaxy Atlas (IGA) to b = 6.7 deg.. High resolution images at 60 microns and 100 microns have been produced to match the latitude coverage of radio continuum observations obtained as part of the Canadian Galactic Plane Survey (CGPS). Also associated with the EIGA and IGA is the Mid-Infrared Galaxy Atlas (MIGA).
