Description:
MIPSGAL is a survey of the inner 248 square degrees of the Galactic plane at 24 and 70 microns using the MIPS instrument aboard the Spitzer Space Telescope. The survey covers Galactic latitudes of -1° < b < +1° for Galactic longitudes of l < 62° and l > 298°. Version 3.0 of the MIPSGAL data includes mosaics only at 24um, but covering the entire survey region. |b| < 1° is covered for -68° < l < 69°, and |b| < 3° is covered for -8° < l < 9°.
The AllWISE program builds upon the work of the successful Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer mission (WISE; Wright et al. 2010) by combining data from the WISE cryogenic and NEOWISE (Mainzer et al. 2011 ApJ, 731, 53) post-cryogenic survey phases to form the most comprehensive view of the full mid-infrared sky currently available. By combining the data from two complete sky coverage epochs using an advanced data processing system, AllWISE has generated new products that have enhanced photometric sensitivity and accuracy, and improved astrometric precision compared to the 2012 WISE All-Sky Data Release. Exploiting the 6 to 12 month baseline between the WISE sky coverage epochs enables AllWISE to measure source motions for the first time, and to compute improved flux variability statistics.
The AllWISE Images Atlas is comprised of 18,240 4-band calibrated 1.56°x1.56° FITS images, depth-of-coverage and noise maps, and image metadata produced by coadding nearly 7.9 million Single-exposure images from all survey phases.
The Auriga-California molecular cloud is a large region of relatively modest star formation that is part of the Gould Belt. The Herschel Space Observatory program OT1_pharvey01_3 ("The Auriga-California Molecular Cloud: A Massive Nearby Cloud With Powerful Diagnostics For Early Stages of Star Formation", PI Paul Harvey) observed a 14.5 square degree area of the cloud in five far-infrared bands.
Bisei Space Guard Center (BSGC) is an optical telescope facility in Japan, operated by JAXA. It tracks near-Earth asteroids and space debris.
DARTS provides data observed by a 25 cm telescope from 2000 to 2002 and data observed by a 1 m telescope from 2007 to 2017.
The Bochum Galactic Disk Survey is a project to monitor the stellar
content of the Galactic disk in a 6 degree wide stripe centered on the
Galactic plane. The data has been recorded from September 2010 to
September 2019 with the RoBoTT Telecsope at the
Universitaetssternwarte Bochum near Cerro Armazones in the Chilean
Atacama desert. It contains measurements of more than 2x10^7 stars.
The second and final data release contains follow-up observations from
January 2017 to September 2019 in Sloan r and i and intermittent
measurements in Johnson UVB, Sloan z and the narrowbands OIII, NB,
Halpha and SII.
A deep 1.1 mm survey using Bolocam of the Lockman Hole, producing a map and galaxy candidate list. This survey encompasses 324 square arcmin to an rms noise level (filtered for point sources) of 1.4 mJy/beam. This project is described by Laurent et al., ApJ, 2005.
Cosmic Dawn is a new infrared survey covering the three Euclid deep fields and four other Euclid calibration fields using Spitzer's Infrared Array Camera (IRAC). These new observations are combined with all relevant IRAC archival data of these fields in order to produce the deepest possible mosaics of these regions. In total, these observations represent nearly 11% of the total Spitzer mission time. The resulting mosaics cover a total of approximately 71.5 deg^2 in the 3.6 and 4.5 micron bands, and approximately 21.8 deg^2 in the 5.8 and 8 micron bands. They reach at least 24 AB magnitude in the 3.6 micron band and up to ~5 mag deeper in the deepest regions. The astrometry is tied to the Gaia astrometric reference system, and the typical astrometric uncertainty for sources with 16 < [3.6] < 19 is 0.15". The photometric calibration is in excellent agreement with previous WISE measurements. Given that the Spitzer Space Telescope has now been decommissioned these mosaics are likely to be the definitive reduction of these IRAC data. This survey therefore represents an essential first step in assembling multi-wavelength data on the Euclid deep fields which are set to become some of the premier fields for extragalactic astronomy in the 2020s.
The COSMOS Archive serves data taken for the Cosmic Evolution Survey with HST (COSMOS) project, using IRSA's general search service, Atlas. COSMOS is an HST Treasury Project to survey a 2 square degree equatorial field with the ACS camera.
