Far-Infrared Deep Extragalactic Legacy Survey (FIDEL) contains sensitive and extensive far-infrared deep field observations with Spitzer to detect warm dust emission from hundreds of relatively ordinary starburst galaxies and active galactic nuclei at redshifts of 1 to 2 (7 to 10 billion years ago), and thousands more nearby. The survey also detected tens of thousands of high redshift objects at mid-infrared wavelengths. The program obtained data in three fields on the sky. The bulk of the data is in two fields, the Extended Chandra Deep Field South (ECDFS) and the Extended Groth Strip (EGS). A smaller amount of additional data was obtained in the GOODS-North area.
This survey sums all data observed by the Fermi mission up to week 396.
This version of the Fermi survey are intensity maps where the summed counts data
are divided by the exposure for each pixel (in cm^2 s) and the area of the pixel.
Data is broken into 5 energy bands
<ul>
<li> 30-100 MeV Band 1 </li>
<li> 100-300 MeV Band 2 </li>
<li> 300-1000 MeV Band 3 </li>
<li> 1-3 GeV Band 4 </li>
<li> 3-300 GeV Band 5 </li>
</ul>
The SkyView data are based upon a Cartesian projection of the counts divided by
the exposure maps. In the Cartesian projection pixels near the pole have
a much smaller area than pixels on the equator, so these pixels have smaller
integrated flux.
When creating large
scale images in other projections users may
wish to make sure to compensate for this effect
the flux conserving clip-resampling option. Provenance: Fermi LAT instrument team, NASA Goddard Space Flight Center. This is a service of NASA HEASARC.
The VLA FIRST (Faint Images of the Radio Sky at Twenty-centimeters)
is a project designed to produce the radio equivalent
of the Palomar Observatory Sky Survey over 10,000 square
degrees of the North Galactic Cap. The
<a href="https://sundog.stsci.edu/top.html"> FIRST home page </a>
has details of the instrumentation, status of the project,
and data available. Currently about 5000 images
of approximately .775x.58 degrees are available.

The Formation and Evolution of Planetary Systems (FEPS) Spitzer Legacy program was designed to characterize the evolution of circumstellar gas and dust around solar-type stars between ages of 3 Myr and 3 Gyr. To achieve these goals, FEPS obtained spectrophotometric observations with the Spitzer Space Telescope for a sample of 328 stars. The observing strategy was to measure the spectral energy distribution (SED) between wavelengths of 3.6 and 70 μm with IRAC and MIPS photometry, and between 8 and 35 μm with low-resolution IRS spectra. In addition, the FEPS program obtained MIPS 160 μm photometry for 80 stars to search for colder dust, and high-resolution IRS spectra for 33 sources to probe for circumstellar gas.
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 Frontier Fields is a Spitzer and HST Director's Discretionary program of six deep fields centered on strong lensing galaxy clusters in parallel with six deep "blank fields". These will be the second deepest observations of blank fields and deepest observations of clusters and their lensed galaxies ever obtained.
The first data release contains all archival data taken on these six clusters as well as data taken for the cycle-9 SURFS-UP (PID:90009) program as of April 1, 2013. Improved reductions with better artifact correction and deeper data will be released periodically over the three year period.
IRSA hosts the Spitzer portion of the Frontier Fields data set. For the HST Frontier Fields data, see MAST.
The Galactic Legacy Infrared Midplane Survey Extraordinaire (GLIMPSE) program covered the Galactic plane with the Spitzer IRAC instrument. GLIMPSEI covered 220 sq. degrees at |l|=10d-65d and b=-1d - +1d. GLIMPSEII covered the Galactic Center, l=-10d - +10d. GLIMPSE3D added vertical extensions, typically to |b|<+3d. GLIMPSE360 covered the outer Galaxy (l=65d-265d) with IRAC 3.6 micron and 4.5 micron imaging. The Vela-Carina program covered l=255d-295d.
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.
