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.
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.
Herschel Exploitation of the Local Galaxy Andromeda
Short Name:
HELGA

NASA/IPAC Infrared Science Archive
Description:
HELGA observed Andromeda on a 5.5x2.5 degree field, an area ~4.5 larger with respect to any previous IR observations, with SPIRE and PACS fast scan Parallel Mode, thus obtaining the most complete FIR survey of this galaxy both in terms of spatial mapping and spectral coverage.
Herschel Data from the "Galactic Cold Cores: A Herschel Survey of the Source Populations Revealed by Planck" (Cold Cores) Open-Time Key Program are available here. IRSA is serving the Cold Cores imaging of 115 PACS and 116 SPIRE fields containing Planck cold dust detections. This is Herschel program KPOT_mjuvela_1.
The Great Observatories Origins Deep Survey (GOODS) aims to unite extremely deep observations from NASA's Great Observatories (Spitzer, Hubble and Chandra), ESA's Herschel and XMM-Newton, and the most powerful ground-based facilities. The aim is to survey the distant universe to the faintest flux limits across the broadest range of wavelengths.
Herschel Inventory of the Agents of Galaxy Evolution
Short Name:
HERITAGE
Date:
27 Oct 2022 19:00:00
Publisher:
NASA/IPAC Infrared Science Archive
Description:
The HERschel Inventory of The Agents of Galaxy Evolution (HERITAGE) open time key program mapped the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) and Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) at 100, 160, 250, 350, and 500 microns using Herschel's PACS and SPIRE instruments. The overriding science goal of HERITAGE is to study the life cycle of matter as traced by dust in the LMC and SMC.
The Herschel Multi-tiered Extragalactic Survey (HerMES) is a legacy programme (KPGT_soliver1) designed to map a set of nested fields totalling 380 sq. deg. Fields range in size from 0.01 to 20 sq. deg., using SPIRE at 250, 350 and 500 microns. These bands cover the peak of the redshifted thermal spectral energy distribution from interstellar dust and thus capture the reprocessed optical and ultraviolet radiation from star formation that has been absorbed by dust, and are critical for forming a complete multiwavelength understanding of galaxy formation and evolution.
This new generation of IRAS images, called IRIS, benefits from better zodiacal light subtraction, calibration and zero levels compatible with DIRBE, and better destriping. At 100 microns, the IRIS product is also a significant improvement over the Schlegel et al. (1998) maps. IRIS keeps the full ISSA resolution, includes well calibrated point sources, and the diffuse emission calibration at scales smaller than 1 degree was corrected for the variation of the IRAS detector responsivity with scale and brightness. The uncertainty on the IRIS calibration and zero levels is dominated by the uncertainty of the DIRBE calibration and the accuracy of the zodiacal light model.
