- Title:
- Improved Reprocessing of the IRAS Survey: 12
- Short Name:
- IRIS
- Date:
- 07 Mar 2025
- Publisher:
- NASA/GSFC HEASARC
- Description:
- The IRIS data is a reprocessing of the IRAS data set and has the same geometry as the IRAS Sky Survey Atlas (ISSA, labeled as IRAS nnn micron in <i>SkyView</i>) surveys. This new generation of IRAS images, called IRIS, benefits from a better zodiacal light subtraction, from a calibration and zero level compatible with DIRBE, and from a better destriping. At 100 micron the IRIS product is also a significant improvement from the Schlegel et al. (1998) maps. IRIS keeps the full ISSA resolution, it 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 level are dominated by the uncertainty on the DIRBE calibration and on the accuracy of the zodiacal light model. <p> More information about the IRIS dataset is available at <a href="https://www.cita.utoronto.ca/~mamd/IRIS"> the IRIS website</a> whence most of the preceding description came.

- INTEGRAL/Spectral Imager Galactic Center Survey
- Short Name:
- INTEGRALSPI_gc
- Date:

- Publisher:
- NASA/GSFC HEASARC
- Description:
- The INTEGRAL observatory (Winkler et al. 2003, A&A, 411, L1) was launched in October 2002. The spectrograph SPI (Vedrenne et al. 2003, A&A, 411, L63) consists of 19 Germanium detectors and is capable of imaging in the 20 - 8000 keV band because of a coded mask. Part of the core program of the INTEGRAL mission is a study of the Galactic Centre, the Galactic Centre Deep Exposure (GCDE).<p> The SPI significance map is based on the public GCDE data and uses data in the 20 - 40 keV energy range. The analysis of the data was done using the SPIROS software (Skinner & Connell 2003, A&A, 411, L123). This software uses the 'Iterative Removal of Sources' technique in order to find the most significant sources. In the output significance map the sources found in this process are put on top of the residual map as points with a FWHM of 1 degree. <p> Current data respresent the combination of all public observations as of September 1, 2004.

- IRAS Sky Survey Atlas: 12 micron
- Short Name:
- IRAS
- Date:

- Publisher:
- NASA/GSFC HEASARC
- Description:
- The IRAS data include all data distributed as part of the IRAS Sky Survey Atlas. Data from the four IRAS bands are shown as individual surveys in SkyView. Users should be aware that IPAC does not encourage the use of data near the ecliptic plane as they feel that contribution from local cirrus emission is significant. <p> The data are distributed in sets of 430 maps. Each map covers approximately 12.5x12.5 degrees, and the map centers are offset by 5 degrees so that there is a 2.5 degree overlap. IPAC has processed to a uniform standard so that excellent mosaics of the maps can be made. Users should be cautious of data in saturated regions. Known problems in the analysis mean that data values are unlikely to be correct. Note that IPAC has optimized the processing of these data for features of 5' or more although the resolution of the data is closer to the 1.5' pixel size. <p> There are occasional pixels in the IRAS maps which are given as NULL values. Unless these are explicitly trapped by user software, these data will appear as large negative values. SkyView ignores these pixels when determining the color scale to display an image. <p> Essentially the entire sky is covered by the survey. However there are a few regions not surveyed and the data values in these regions are suspect. These are given to users as delivered from IPAC. Provenance: NASA IPAC/Jet Propulsion Laboratory.

- Publisher:
- NASA/GSFC HEASARC
- Description:
- The LABOCA Extended Chandra Deep Field South (ECDFS) Submillimetre Survey (LESS) is a public legacy survey of the ECDFS at 870 μm using the LABOCA camera (Siringo et al. 2009) on the APEX telescope. <p> The LABOCA data presented here were obtained between 2007 May and 2008 November in excellent conditions using time from both ESO and Max Planck allocations. The mapping pattern was designed to uniformly cover the 30'x30' extent of the ECDFS, centered on 03:32:29.0, -27:48:47.0 (J2000). The project used a total of 310 hrs of observations to achieve a beam-smoothed noise of 1.2 mJy/beam over 900 sq. arcmin (and <1.6mJy/beam over 1260 sq. arcmin). The flux calibration of the map came from observations of Mars, Uranus and Neptune (as well as secondary calibrators) and is accurate to within 8.5%. Provenance: Data downloaded from ESO archive.

- Mellinger All Sky Mosaic: Red

- Publisher:
- NASA/GSFC HEASARC
- Description:
- This all sky mosaic was created by Axel Mellinger and is used in <i>SkyView</i> with his permission. A fuller description is available at the <a href="https://www.milkywaysky.com/">survey website</a>. <p> Between October 2007 and August 2009 a digital all-sky mosaic was assembled from more than 3000 individual CCD frames. Using an SBIG STL-11000 camera, 70 fields (each covering 40x27 degrees) were imaged from dark-sky locations in South Africa, Texas and Michigan. In order to increase the dynamic range beyond the 16 bits of the camera's analog-to-digital converter (of which approximately 12 bits provide data above the noise leve) three different exposure times (240s, 15s and 0.5 s) were used. Five frames were taken for each exposure time and filter setting. The frames were photometrically calibrated using standard catalog stars and sky background data from the Pioneer 10 and 11 space probes. the panorama has an image scale of 36"/pixel and a limiting magnitude of approximately 14. The survey has an 18 bit dynamic range. <p> The processing of these data used a custom data pipeline built using IRAF, Source Extractor and SWarp. <p> The data used here were converted to three independent RGB color planes of 8 bits each and provided to SkyView as a single 36000x18000x3 Cartesian projection cube. To allow users to efficiently sample data in a region of the sky, this cube was broken up into 2100x2100 pixel regions with a 50 pixel overlap between adjacent images. Tiles at the poles were 2100x2050. <p> In <i>SkyView</i> each color plane comprises a survey. The individual planes may be sampled as surveys independently as Mellinger-R, Mellinger-G and Mellinger-B. The color mosaics can be regenerated by creating an RGB image of all three surveys. Since <i>SkyView</i> may stretch the intensity values within each color, linear scaling and a minimum of 0 and maximum of 255 should be specified to keep the original intensity scalings. <p> The full spatial resolution data is used for images of less than 30 degrees on a side. If a user requests a larger region, data are sampled from a lower resolution 3600x1800x3 data cube. Please contact the survey author if you need to use the higher resolution data for larger regions. The Mellinger survey is only available in <i>SkyView</i> through the website. SkyView-in-a-Jar cannot access the underlying data. Provenance: Axel Mellinger. This is a service of NASA HEASARC.

- Near-Earth Asteriod Tracking System Archive
- Short Name:
- NEAT
- Date:

- Publisher:
- NASA/GSFC HEASARC
- Description:
- The NEAT/SkyMorph survey provides access to the archives of the Near Earth Asteroid Tracking (NEAT) project. NEAT is designed to look for potentially hazardous asteroids, i.e., those whose orbits cross the Earth's. Over 200,000 images are available in the NEAT archive. <a href=https://skyview.gsfc.nasa.gov/skymorph/skymorph.html>SkyMorph</a> provides a Web interface to the NEAT images and allows users to select all images in which a given fixed or moving object is found. <p> Unlike most <i>SkyView</i> surveys, the NEAT data are extremely irregular in their spatial distribution. <i>SkyView</i>'s algorithms for mosaicking images together to form large images are not adequate for the NEAT data, so mosaicking is surpressed. Only data within a single NEAT image will be displayed. The system attempts to find the most recent image within which has a offset in both RA and Dec of less than 0.8 degrees. If no such image is found, then an image with the minimum offset is returned, or the search may fail altogether if there are no nearby plates. The NEAT telescope uses an array of 4 CCDs. The backgrounds of the CCDs may differ significantly. <p> The NEAT survey covers approximately 30% of the sky. Extreme southern and low-Galactic latitude regions are unsurveyed. Coverage is otherwise particularly dense in the ecliptic plane. <p> NEAT data consists primarily of groups of three images taken with separations of 20 minutes and almost identical positions. <i> SkyView </i> will normally return the last of a 'triplet'. The SkyMorph site can be used to display an overlay of triplets to look for targets which moved during the interval between images. <p> A catalog of objects detected in the NEAT/SkyMorph pages is accessible through the SkyMorph pages. 'Light-curves' from all images during which an object was in the NEAT field of view can also be generated. <P> The NEAT data values are in arbitrary density units. To enhance the display data are transformed such that all pixels below the median values are scaled linearly to values 0-20, while all pixels above the median are shifted (but not scaled) to values greater than 20.

- Nine Year INTEGRAL IBIS 17\-35 keV Galactic Plane Survey: Exposure
- Short Name:
- INTGAL1735E
- Date:

- Publisher:
- NASA/GSFC HEASARC
- Description:
- This survey combines 9 years of INTEGRAL IBIS observations from December 2002 through January 2011 into a single Galactic Plane image. A total of 135 megaseconds of exposure is included in the observations used. Survey data is generated for the Galactic plane in the region |b| <= 17.5. The original flux data has been convolved with 5' seeing kernel. To minimize loss of resolution in transformations, the Lanczos sampler is suggested as the default, but may be overriden by the user. Both the preconvolved and standard convolved maps are available at the <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20170620112312/https://hea.iki.rssi.ru/integral/nine-years-galactic-survey/index.php">Website</a>. <p> The exposure and sensitivity vary considerably over the coverage region, but 90% of the field has a limiting sensitivity better than 2.2 x 10<sup>-11</sup>ergs s<sup>-1</sup>cm<sup>-2</sup> or about 1.56 mCrab. Further details of the survey construction are given in the reference. <p> The flux and significance maps use the PSF convolved maps from the survey. The flux maps are in millicrab units. Exposure maps (with exposures in seconds) were from the exposure extension in the MAPDLD files and give the dead-time corrected exposure in seconds. <p> Links to the exposure and significance maps corresponding to the requested region will be given in the Web output. These maps can be generated directly in the CLI interface. For each waveband the flux, significance and exposure maps are available with just the end of the survey names distinguishing them (e.g., INT Gal 17-35 [Flux|Sig|Exp] or INTGal1735[F|S|E]) Provenance: <a href="https://adsabs.harvard.edu/cgi-bin/bib_query?arXiv:1205.3941">Krivonos et al., 2012</a><br> Based on observations with INTEGRAL, an ESA project with instruments and science data centre funded by ESA member states (especially the PI countries: Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, Switzerland and Spain), Poland, and participation of Russia and the USA..
