Cygnus-X: A Spitzer Legacy Survey of the Cygnus-X Complex

Description:
The Cygnus-X region is one of the brightest regions of the sky at all wavelengths and one of the richest known regions of star formation of the Galaxy. The goals of the Cygnus-X survey are to provide a detailed picture of the processes that govern the evolution of massive star forming complexes, to study star formation in the massive star forming complex environment, and to provide a rich sample of intermediate to high mass protostars spanning the full range of protostellar evolution. The project will also allow us to assess the role of feedback in a massive OB star/molecular cloud complex. The survey imaged a ~24 square degree region centered near 20:30:25, +40:00 (J2000). The IRAC images had a median coverage of 3x12s high dynamic range (HDR) frames, and the MIPS data were taken in fast scanning mode in the 24 and 70 μm bands.

Description:
Using the Advanced Camera for Surveys on the Hubble Space Telescope, Thomas Brown
(STScI) et al. obtained deep optical images reaching well below the oldest main
sequence turnoff in six fields of the Andromeda Galaxy. The fields fall at four
positions on the southeast minor axis, one position in the giant stellar stream,
and one position on the northeast major axis. These data were obtained as part of
three large observing programs (9453, 10265, 10816) designed to probe the star
formation history of the stellar population in various structures of the galaxy.
The c2d Spitzer Legacy project obtained images and photometry with both IRAC and MIPS instruments for five large, nearby molecular clouds. Three of the clouds were also mapped in dust continuum emission at 1.1 mm, and optical spectroscopy has been obtained for some clouds.
The Galaxy Evolution Explorer (GALEX), a NASA Small Explorer mission, is performing the first all-sky, deep imaging and spectroscopic ultraviolet surveys in space. The prime goal of GALEX is to study star formation in galaxies and its evolution with time.
The Panchromatic Hubble Andromeda Treasury is a Hubble Space Telescope Multi-cycle program to map roughly a third of M31's star forming disk,
using 6 filters covering from the ultraviolet through the near infrared. With HST's resolution and sensitivity, the disk of M31 will be resolved
into more than 100 million stars, enabling a wide range of scientific endeavors.

Description:
The Taurus Spitzer Legacy project has mapped ≈44 square degrees of the Taurus star-formation region using the IRAC and MIPS cameras aboard the Spitzer Space Telescope.
