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.
The GOALS sample consists of a total of 179 LIRGs (log (L_IR/L_sun) = 11.0-11.99) and 22 ultra-luminous infrared galaxies (ULIRGs: log (L_IR/L_sun) > 12.0) selected from the IRAS Revised Bright Galaxy Sample; these 201 objects comprise a statistically complete flux-limited sample of infrared-luminous galaxies in the local universe. The GOALS objects have been the subject of an intense multi-wavelength observing campaign, including space-based imaging and spectroscopy from Spitzer and Herschel.
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.
HERON used a dedicated 0.7-m telescope to image the haloes of 124 galaxies in the Local Volume to surface brightnesses of 28-30 mag/arcsec^2. The sample is primarily from the Two Micron All Sky Survey Large Galaxy Atlas and extended to include nearby dwarf galaxies and more distant giant ellipticals, and spans fully the galaxy color-magnitude diagram including the blue cloud and red sequence
Herschel Astrophysical Terahertz Large Area Survey
Short Name:
H-ATLAS
Date:
27 Oct 2022 19:00:00
Publisher:
NASA/IPAC Infrared Science Archive
Description:
The Herschel Astrophysical Terahertz Large Area Survey (H-ATLAS) is a survey of 600 deg^2 in five photometric bands - 100, 160, 250, 350 and 500 microns - with the Photoconductor Array Camera and Spectrometer (PACS) and Spectral and Photometric Imaging Receiver (SPIRE) cameras. H-ATLAS DR1 includes the survey of three fields on the celestial equator, covering a total area of 161.6 deg^2 and previously observed in the Galaxy and Mass Assembly (GAMA) spectroscopic survey.
Herschel Exploitation of the Local Galaxy Andromeda
Short Name:
HELGA
Date:
27 Oct 2022 19:00:00
Publisher:
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 Herschel Gould Belt Survey is one of the largest Herschel Key Projects. It conducted extensive far-infrared and submillimeter mapping of nearby molecular clouds with both the SPIRE and PACS instruments. It covered the bulk of the nearest (d <= 0.5 kpc) cloud complexes in the Galaxy, which are mostly located in the Gould Belt, a giant (700 pc by 1000 pc), flat structure inclined by 20d to the Galactic plane.
