- Description:
- The AKARI (formerly Astro-F) mission is a Japanese second generation all-sky infrared survey mission. SkyView currently includes surveys from the four bands of the FIS instrument: N60, WIDE-S, WIDE-L and N160. <p> These surveys cover 99% of the sky in four photometric bands centred at 65μm, 90μm, 140μm, and 160μm, with spatial resolutions ranging from 1-1.5'. <p> These data provide crucial information on the investigation and characterisation of the proper- ties of dusty material in the interstellar medium (ISM), since a significant portion of its energy is emitted between ∼50 and 200 μm. The large-scale distribution of interstellar clouds, their thermal dust temperatures, and their column densities can be investigated with the improved spatial resolution compared to earlier all-sky survey observations. In addition to the point source distribution, the large-scale distribution of ISM cirrus emis- sion, and its filamentary structure, are well traced. <p> Data are obtained using using the <a href="https://jvo.nao.ac.jp/index-e.html">JVO</a> AKARI Simple Image Access Service.

- Publisher:
- NASA/GSFC HEASARC
- Description:
- New large-scale CO surveys of the first and second Galactic quadrants and the nearby molecular cloud complexes in Orion and Taurus, obtained with the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics 1.2 m telescope, have been combined with 31 other surveys obtained over the past two decades with that instrument and a similar telescope on Cerro Tololo in Chile, to produce a new composite CO survey of the entire Milky Way. The survey consists of 488,000 spectra that Nyquist or beamwidth (1/8 deg) sample the entire Galactic plane over a strip 4 deg-10 deg wide in latitude, and beamwidth or 1/4 deg sample nearly all large local clouds at higher latitudes. Compared with the previous composite CO survey of Dame et al. (1987), the new survey has 16 times more spectra, up to 3.4 times higher angular resolution, and up to 10 times higher sensitivity per unit solid angle. <P> Users should be aware that both the angular resolution and the sensitivity varies from region to region in the velocity-integrated map. The component surveys were integrated individually using clipping or moment masking in order to display nearly all statistically significant emission but little noise above a level of ~1.5 K km/s. See the reference below and the <a href="https://lweb.cfa.harvard.edu/mmw/"> Millimeter-Wave Group site</a> for more details Provenance: Data taken by two nearly-identical 1.2 m telescopes in Cambridge, MA and on Cerro Tololo, Chile combined into a complete survey of the Milky Way with CO integrated over all velocities..

- Publisher:
- NASA/GSFC HEASARC
- Description:
- The DIRBE Project Data Sets cover the whole sky and provide photometric data in 10 bands ranging in wavelength from 1.25 to 240 microns. SkyView has supported three maps: an early averaged map including including zodiacal and Galactic components (COBE DIRBE (OLD)), a more recent cleaner version of that data (COBE DIRBE/AAM) and a map with the zodaical light subtracted out (COBE DIRBE/ZSMA). The early data is no longer supported. Please contact us if you want access to these data. <P> Detailed descriptions of the DIRBE, the data processing, and the data products are given in an Explanatory Supplement. A Small Source Spectral Energy Distribution Browser can be used to assess the visibility of an unresolved or small extended source in the DIRBE data and see its spectral energy distribution. As noted in section 5.6.6 of the Explanatory Supplement, the DIRBE Time-ordered Data are required to derive definitive point source fluxes. <p> These maps provide an estimate of the infrared intensity at each pixel and wavelength band based on an interpolation of the observations made at various times at solar elongations close to 90&#176;;. <P> These COBE DIRBE maps are a combination original ten band passes with the following wavelengths: <UL> <LI>Band 1 - 1.25 &#181;;m <LI>Band 2 - 2.2 &#181;;m <LI>Band 3 - 3.5 &#181;;m <LI>Band 4 - 4.9 &#181;;m <LI>Band 5 - 12 &#181;;m <LI>Band 6 - 25 &#181;;m <li>Band 7 - 60 &#181;;m <li>Band 8 - 100 &#181;;m <li>Band 9 - 140 &#181;;m <li>Band 10 - 240 &#181;;m </ul> <p> The default two dimensional array uses Band 8 (100 &#181;;m). <P> The COBE DIRBE/Annual Average Maps (AAM) is the cumulative weighted average of the photometry. This average is calculated using the weighted number of observations from each Weekly Averaged Map ( WtNumObs from the Weekly Averaged Map) as the weight, such that annual_average =sum( weekly_average * weekly_weight )/ sum( weekly_weight ) <p> COBE DIRBE/Zodi-Subtracted Mission Average (ZSMA) Skymap represents the extra-Solar system sky brightness. It is the average residual map that results after the modelled interplanetary dust (IPD) signal is subtracted from each of the DIRBE Weekly Skymaps from the cryogenic mission. Individual weekly residual maps can be reconstructed from the data supplied in the DIRBE Sky and Zodi Atlas (DSZA). Provenance: COBE Team. This is a service of NASA HEASARC.

- Description:
- The Online Digitized Sky Surveys (DSS1 & 2) server at the ESO/ST-ECF Archive provides access to the CD-ROM set produced by the Space Telescope Science Institute through its Guide Star Survey group. The images of these surveys are based on photographic data obtained using the Oschin Schmidt Telescope on Palomar Mountain and the UK Schmidt Telescope. The plates were processed into the present compressed digital form with the permission of these institutions. The photographic plates were scanned to a pixel scale of about 1.7 arcseconds per pixel for the POSS, SERC, and Palomar Quick-V surveys, and to about 1.0 arcseconds per pixel for the POSS-II surveys. Images of any part of the sky may be extracted from the DSS, in either FITS or GIF format.

- Description:
- Roger et al. (1999) presented a map of the 22 MHz radio emission between declinations -28° and +80°, covering ~73% of the sky, derived from observations with the 22 MHz radiotelescope of the Dominion Radio Astrophysical Observatory (DRAO). The resolution of the telescope (EW x NS) is 1.2° x 1.7° secant(zenith angle). Roger et al. emphasize that the main value of the data lies in the representation of structure larger than the beam. The strongest point sources (Cas A, Cyg A, Tau A and Vir A) have been removed from the map. <p> The Centre d'Analyse de Données Etendues group used the data to form an all-sky HEALPix format map following the method described in Appendix A of Paradis et al. 2012, A&A, 543, 103, ADS. Their HEALPix map is mirrored here. The map is in units of K brightness temperature. Map pixels are set to a sentinel value of -32768.0 for unobserved regions and for regions affected by sidelobes around Cyg A, Tau A, and Vir A. Provenance: DRAO, MPI for Radio Astronomie.

- The GALEX, Galaxy Explorer, mission was launched by a Pegasus-XL vehicle on April 28 2003 into a 690km altitude, 29 degree inclination, circular orbit with a 98.6 minute period. The GALEX instrument allows imaging and spectroscopic observations to be made in two ultraviolet bands, Far UV (FUV) 1350-1780A and Near UV (NUV) 1770-2730A. The instrument provides simultaneous co-aligned FUV and NUV images with spatial resolution 4.3 and 5.3 arcseconds respectively. Details of the performance of the instrument and detectors can be found in Morrissey et al. (2007) ApJS, 173, 682. <p> The <i>SkyView</i> GALEX surveys mosaic the intensity images of All-Sky Survey images. For a given pixel only the nearest image is used. Since a given GALEX observation is circular, this maximizes the coverage compared with default image finding algorithms which use the distance from edge of the image. <p> As of February 10, 2011, SkyView uses the GALEX GR6 data release.

- Description:
- GLEAM, the GaLactic and Extragalactic All-sky MWA survey, is a survey of the entire radio sky south of declination 30 degrees at frequencies between 72 and 231 MHz. It was made with the Murchison Widefield Array (MWA) using a drift scan method that makes efficient use of the MWA's very large field-of-view. The survey is described in Wayth et al. (2015) and the <a href="https://www.mwatelescope.org/gleam">website</a> at https://www.mwatelescope.org/gleam. <p> The data presented here are from the first year of GLEAM observing, published in: <ul> <li> Hurley-Walker et al. (2017): 25,000 square degrees of extragalactic sky <li> For et al. (2018): the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds <li> Hurley-Walker et al. (2019c): 8,000 square degrees of the Galactic plane </ul> A region around Centaurus A, a few other small regions described by Hurley-Walker et al. (2017), and the Galactic plane between 180 < l < 345 degrees, are not available. <p> The most sensitive and highest-resolution image is the 170-231MHz image which was used for all source-finding in generating the catalogue. It has a resolution of approximately 2.2 x 2.2/cos (dec + 26.7) arcmin at this frequency. However, due to ionospheric distortions, the final resolution of the survey varies by ~10% over the sky, with a direction-dependent PSF. <p> The <i>SkyView</i> data for the GLEAM surveys was extracted using the team's cutout server, into small (3 degree) raw cutouts over the region covered by the GLEAM survey. These cutouts have somewhat variable size and resolution. The default scale (i.e., pixel size) used for <i>SkyView</i> images is given in the table below. Since the GLEAM cutout server will not create an appropriately sized tile for the Sourth Pole, a larger tile offset from the pole is used. <p> <i>SkyView</i> resamples the cutouts retreived from the GLEAM website into the image geometry requested by the user. Only four wide-band datasets are included. The table below gives the frequency range, central frequency and a typical pixel scale for each of these bands. <table border> <tr><th colspan=5> GLEAM Bands In <i>SkyView</i> </th></tr> <tr><th>Band</th> <th>f<sub>min</sub> (MHz)</th> <th>f<sub>max</sub> (MHz)</th> <th>f<sub>C</sub> (MHz)</tg> <th>Pixel scale (") </th> </tr> <tr> <td> 1 </td><td> 72 </td><td>103 </td><td> 88 </td> <td> 56 </td></tr> <tr> <td> 2 </td><td>103 </td><td>134 </td><td>118 </td> <td> 44 </td></tr> <tr> <td> 3 </td><td>138 </td><td>170 </td><td>155 </td> <td> 34 </td></tr> <tr> <td> 4 </td><td>170 </td><td>231 </td><td>200 </td> <td> 28 </td></tr> </table> These data and 20 narrower bands are available through the team website. <p> To minimize resampling artifacts, this survey defaults to the Lanczos third order resampler. SkyView tracks the size and orientation of the beam as given in each of the tiles and includes the averaged value (i.e., the average of the input images weighted by the output pixels sampled from each input) in the BMAJ, BMIN, and BPA keywords of any result FITS file.

- Publisher:
- NASA/GSFC HEASARC
- Description:
- The first full release of a survey of the 150 MHz radio sky observed with the Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope between April 2010 and March 2012 as part of the TGSS project. Aimed at producing a reliable compact source survey, the automated data reduction pipeline efficiently processed more than 2000 hours of observations with minimal human interaction. Through application of innovative techniques such as image-based flagging, direction-dependent calibration of ionospheric phase errors, correcting for systematic offsets in antenna pointing, and improving the primary beam model, good quality images were created for over 95 percent of the 5336 pointings. This data release covers 36,900 square degrees (or 3.6 pi steradians) of the sky between -53 deg and +90 deg DEC, which is 90 percent of the total sky. The majority of pointing images have a background RMS noise below 5 mJy/beam with an approximate resolution of 25" x 25" (or 25" x 25" / cos (DEC - 19 deg) for pointings south of 19 deg DEC). The associated catalog has 640 thousand radio sources derived from an initial, high reliability source extraction at the 7 sigma level. The measured overall astrometric accuracy is better than 2" in RA and DEC, while the flux density accuracy is estimated at ~10 percent. Data is stored as 5336 mosaic images (5 deg x 5 deg). <p> <i>SkyView</i> uses Lanczos resampling and Sqrt image scaling by default for this survey. Provenance: TGS ADR Team.

- NASA/GSFC HEASARC
- Description:
- The Soviet orbital observatory GRANAT was launched in December 1989 and was operational till November 1998. One of the main instruments of the observatory was the French-Soviet hard X-ray coded mask telescope SIGMA (Paul et al.1 1991, Adv.Space Res., 11, 279). It was the first space telescope that used coded aperture technique for reconstruction of sky images in hard X-rays (35-1300 keV). The angular resolution of the telescope was approximately 12' and the accuracy of a source localization is approximately 2-3'.<p> SIGMA discovered numerous interesting hard X-ray sources including GRS 1758-258, which is located only 40' from bright soft X-ray source GX 5-1. It detected hard X-ray flux from X-ray burster A1742-294, which is very near to bright black hole binary 1E1740.7-2942. SIGMA set an upper limit on the hard X-ray flux of from the central supermassive black hole in our Galaxy.<p> During the period 1990-1998 SIGMA observed more that one quarter of the sky with sensitivity better than 100 mCrab. The Galactic Center region had the deepest exposure ( approximately 9 million sec), with the sensitivity to a source discovery (S/N > ~ 5) or approximately 10 mCrab.<p> A list of all detected sources with references to publications on them is presented in the paper of Revnivtsev et al. 2004, Astr. Lett. v.6. In these survey images (40-100 keV) all performed observations are averaged together. Transient sources that were discovered by SIGMA may not visible in the averaged image. <p> This survey has some features that users should keep in mind. The SIGMA telescope is a complicated instrument and is strongly dominated by the accuracy of the background subtraction. The presence of a very bright source in the field of view of the telescope sometimes cannot be fully accounted for and as a result of it some 'ghost' sources can appear. Such features can be seen in the regions near very bright sources like Crab Nebula, Cyg X-1, Nova Per 1992, Nova Mus 1991, Nova Oph 1993, and in the Galactic Center region. In addition to its nominal field of view (~17x17 deg) located around the optical axis of the telescope, SIGMA had another window of relatively high transparency of its shield, approximately 20-30&#176;; apart from the optical axis. Becuase of this a very bright sources like Cyg X-1 can cause non zero illumination of the SIGMA detector if they are located approximately 20-30&#176;; from the optical axis. The ring-like features caused by this effect, can be seen around Cyg X-1, and Nova Per 1992. <p> The count rate of detected sources (or upper limits) can be roughly translated into mCrab using the fact that that Crab nebula gives the count rate approximately 2.8e<sup>-3</sup> cnts/s in the units, provided in 'flux' maps Provenance: High Energy Astrophysics Department, Space Research Institute, Moscow, Russia; CEA, Centre d'Etudes de Saclay Orme des Merisiers, France; Centre d'Etude Spatiale des Rayonnements, Toulouse, France; F&eacute;d&eacute;ration de Recherche Astroparticule et Cosmologie Universit&eacute; de Paris, France.

- 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.

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.

- 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.

- 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.

- 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.

- 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..

The special HealPixImage class is used so that SkyView can use the HEALPix FITS files directly. The HealPixImage simulates a rectangular image but translates the pixels from that image to the nested HEALPix structure that is used by the HEALPix data. Users of the SkyView Jar will be able to access this survey through the web but performance may be poor since the FITS files are 150 to 600 MB in size and must be completely read in.

Planck provides all-sky survey data at all nine frequencies with higher resolution at the 6 higher frequencies. It provides substantially higher resolution and sensitivity than WMAP. Planck orbits in the L2 Lagrange point. <p> These data come from the legacy Release 3 of the Planck mission. <p> These products include polarization information available to visualize in several ways. The data contain Stokes parameters I, Q, and U, and in addition to these, it is possible to visualize the polarized intensity PI=sqrt(Q^2+U^2) and the polarization angle PA=1/2atan(U/Q). Note that at their native resolution of a few arcmin (depending on the frequency), these polarization data will appear very noisy. In order to visualize the polarization information, it is highly recommended that the data be resampled with the "Clip (intensive)" sampler and the result smoothed. That sampler will average all the data points within a given output pixel rather than the more common nearest neighbor. It will do this averaging before computing either PI or PA to reduce the effects of the noise. This sampler is set as the default for this survey. If the output pixel resolution is not significantly larger than the resolution, a smoothing of the output pixels will also be necessary. <p> Note also that Q and U are defined relative to a given co-ordinate system, in this case Galactic, and following the CMB convention (not the IAU); see https://lambda.gsfc.nasa.gov/product/about/pol_convention.cfm. This means that they will appear to vary rapidly near the pole of that coordinate system.

Each photon detected is assigned to a band based on the pulse height analysis for that photon, but the energy resolution of the detectors is relatively poor. Also note that Band 3 was not included in the reference paper due to poor statistics and background modeling. <p> SkyView has several other sets of surveys derived from ROSAT data with substantially higher resolution and which include point sources. The RASS surveys are derived from the RASS all sky survey. These include count and intensity maps. The PSPC maps are dervived from the PSPC pointed observations which were combined by SkyView.

- This survey was generated from all available ROSAT HRI observations. Data were mosaicked into 1.1 degree tiles by SkyView. Exposure maps were generated for each HRI observation using the hriexpmap FTOOL. For each tile, all observations that might contribute to that tile were located and added to count and exposure map tiles. Exposures for each observation were calculated using a nearest neighbor interpolation of the center of the tile pixels to the exposure map pixels. Counts were computed by projecting the RA and Decs of each eligible photon into the appropriate tile pixel. Only photons with a PHA > 3 were included in the mosaic and within each observation only counts within the region where the exposure was greater than half the maximum exposure were included.

- Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer was launched at the end of 1995 and up to now (2004) it has been successfully operating for more than 7 years. The mission was primarily designed to study the variability of X-ray sources on time scales from sub-milliseconds to years. The maneuvering capability of the satellite combined with the high photon throughput of its main detector (PCA) and high quality of background prediction (thanks to PCA intrumental group of LHEA, GSFC) has also made it possible to construct maps of the sky in energy band 3-20 keV. During its life time RXTE/PCA has collected a large amount of data from slew observations covering almost the entire sky. <p> We have utilized the slew parts of all RXTE/PCA observations performed from April 15, 1996-July 16, 2002 which amounts in total to approximately 50,000 observations. The exposure time at a given point in the map is typically between 200-500 seconds. The observational period before April 15, 1996 (High Voltage Epochs 1 and 2) was excluded from the analysis because during that time the PCA had significantly different gain and dependence of the effective area on energy. The data reduction was done using standard tools of the LHEASOFT with a set of packages written by M. Revnivtsev (HEAD/IKI, Moscow; MPA, Garching).<p> <p> The survey has several features. It has strongly different exposure times at different points on the sky that lead to strong variability of the statistical noise on images. Because of that the only meaningful representation of images is the map in units of statistical significance. After the detection of a source flux can be determined from the map in the 'flux' units. Map resolution is determined mainly by the slew rate of the RXTE (<0.05-0.1&#176;;/sec) and the time resolution of used data (16 sec, Std2 mode of the PCA). Sources can be detected down to the level of ~6e<sup>-12</sup> erg/s/cm<sup>2</sup>, but at this level the confusion starts to play an important role. Details of the survey are presented in the paper of Revnivtsev et al. (2004). Provenance: High Energy Astrophysics Department, Space Research Institute, Moscow, Russia; M PA, Garching, Germany.

- Description:
- This BAT Hard X-ray Survey data is the 70-month survey product of the BAT instrument on the Swift observatory. Swift/BAT is a wide field-of-view (70x100 degrees) hard X-ray imager consisting of a coded mask and a large array of CdZnTe detectors (with an effective area of ~ 5000 cm<sup>2</sup>). <p> BAT is sensitive in the energy range 14-195 keV. The data are divided into 8 energy bands <table border> <tr><th>Band<th>Energy (keV)<th>Frequency (EHz) </tr> <tr><td>1<td> 14-20 <td> 3.38-4.84</tr> <tr><td>2<td> 20-24 <td> 4.84-5.80</tr> <tr><td>3<td> 24-35 <td> 5.80-8.46</tr> <tr><td>4<td> 35-50 <td> 8.46-12.1</tr> <tr><td>5<td> 50-75 <td> 12.1-18.1</tr> <tr><td>6<td> 75-100 <td> 18.1-24.2</tr> <tr><td>7<td> 100-150<td> 24.2-36.3</tr> <tr><td>8<td> 150-195<td> 36.3-47.2</tr> <tr><td>Sum (SNR only)<td>14-195<td> 3.38-47.2</tr> </table> Each band is represented as as two separate surveys, a signal-to-noise (SNR) map and a flux map. (e.g., BAT-snr-1 or BAT SNR 1 or BAT SNR 14-20, or BAT-Flux-1, ...). An additional summed survey, BAT-SNR-SUM or BAT SNR SUM or BAT SNR 14-195, is also available, but there is no summed flux survey. In our Web interface only the SNR surveys are shown in the Web form. Users can get flux maps corresponding to a given SNR image from the results pages. The batch interfaces may directly query any of the surveys since the user chooses the names explicitly rather than from a selection box. <p> The values displayed in the significance maps are the local signal to noise ratio in each pixel. The noise in these coded-mask images follows a Gaussian distribution with center at zero and a characteristic width (sigma) of 1.0. The noise is calculated locally for each pixel by measuring the RMS value of all pixel values in an annulus around each pixel and hence includs both statistical and systematic components. Known sources are excluded from the annuli. <p> The signal in each pixel is taken from the flux maps. <p> The flux values are in the native BAT survey units of counts/sec/detector. The detector is an individual piece of CZT in the BAT array with an area of 1.6 x 10<sup>-7</sup>m<sup>2</sub>. <p> While the Swift mission is primarily designed to follow gamma-ray bursts, the random distribution of bursts in the sky means that these survey's sky coverage is relatively uniform with the exposure at any point varying between about 6 to 16 megaseconds. The survey limits for source detection are about 10<sup>-11</sup> ergs/s/cm<sup>2</sup> over about half the sky and 1.3x10<sup>-11</sup> ergs/s/cm<sup>2</sup> over 90%. <p> These data replace the 9-month BAT datasets which we have retired. If you wish access to the older data please let us know. Note that for the 9-month data we provided access through the web page to the flux data and gave links to the signal-to-noise maps. Since the existence of sources is most easily seen in the SNR maps, we decided to invert that for this release. <p> For the 8 band data, the source data were provided by the BAT team as 6 FITS files. Each of these contained the 8 bands in separate image extensions for a region centered at l=0,b=+/-90 or l=0,90,180,270,b=0, the centers of 6 cubic facets. However these data are not the classical cube-faced projections, e.g., as used in COBE data. The data on the facets overlap, so that this is just a convenient way to tile the sky. <i>SkyView</i> separated each of the FITS image extensions into a separate file, but no other modifications were made to the data. The summed image was provided as six separate files. Provenance: NASA BAT Team. This is a service of NASA HEASARC.

- Publisher:
- NASA/GSFC HEASARC
- Description:
- The Swift UVOT instrument is a 30 cm modified Ritchey-Chretien reflecting telescope launched on board the Swift satellite on November 20, 2004. The range of optical and UV filters can accomodate wavebands between 1700 and 6500 Angstroms. A full field image covers 17x17 arcminutes and at maximum spatial sampling is imaged onto 2048x2048 0.5" pixels. A 1000 second observation can detect point sources to m=22.3 when no filter is used. The Swift Serendipitous Source Catalog (Page et al., 2015) detects sources down to m=23-26 for the six filters in very deep observations, but the typical limits are substantially brighter (~20-23 magnitude). <p> These surveys are mosaics of all Swift UVOT observations released between the start of the mission and July 2017. Data were extracted from the HEASARC archive from the UVOT products directory. Mosaics are provided in six filters and also with no filter, i.e., WHITE. The table below gives the number of observations and bandpasses for each of the filters. For each UVOT observation standard processing generates a counts and exposure file as a single multi-extension FITS file with a separate extension for each filter. To aid processing, these extensions were copied into separate files in directory trees for each filter. Four observations in which the exposure and counts maps did not agree on the filters used were omitted from the processing. <p> Some observations were recorded with 0.5" pixels while others were binned to 1". All 0.5" observations (typically fewer than 10%) were rebinned to the larger pixels for the counts maps since the counts data scales with the pixel size. Since the exposure values are intensive and do not vary significantly based upon the resolution, these data were not generally rebinned unless it was needed to ensure that Order 9 Hips data were produced. <p> The CDS Hipsgen software was used to generate Order 9 HiPS data (~0.8" pixels) for both the Counts and Exposure images. The HiPS (Hierarchical Progressive Survey VO standard) supports multi-resolution mosaics. Any quantitative use of these images should note that the rebinning increases the total counts by a factor of ~(1.0/0.8)^2 ~ 1.56. This software uses a bilinear interpolation to generate HEALPix tiles of an appropriate order (18 in this case). <i>SkyView</i> developed software was used to divide the level 9 counts maps tiles by the corresponding exposure maps to create intensity tiles. Pixels where the exposure was less than 5 seconds were left as NaNs. The lower order (8 to 3) order intensity tiles were then generated by averaging 2x2 sets of the higher order maps treating any missing maps or pixels as NaNs. A HiPS all-sky image was generated by averaged the Order 3 tiles. <p> Only the Intensity HIPS files are presented in the SkyView web page directly, but intensity, counts and exposure maps are available for all seven filters. Note that unlike the XRT HiPS data, the exposure and counts maps have not been clipped. I.e., the source FITS files have been aligned with the coordinate system and thus contain large numbers of unexposed pixels with 0 values. These 0's are simply propogated to HiPS tiles. NaNs are returned in regions which lie outside any of the original source images. For the Intensity map, any pixel for which the exposure was less than 5s is returned as a NaN. <table border> <tr><th align=center>Filter</th><th>Count</th><th>Central Wavelength (&#8491;;)</th><th>Bandpass (&#8491;;)</th><th>Central Frequency(THz)</th><th>Bandpass (THz)</th><th>Coverage</th></tr> <tr><th align=center>WHITE</th><td align='center'>3,000</td><td align='center'>3600</td><td align='center'>1600-6000</td><td align='center'>832</td><td align='center'>500-1874</td> <td>0.0017</td></tr> <tr><th align=center>V</th><td align='center'>30,557</td><td align='center'>5468</td><td align='center'>5083-5852</td>< <td align='center'>548</td><td align='center'>512-590</td> <td>0.0171</td></tr> <tr><th align=center>B</th><td align='center'>28,347</td><td align='center'>4392</td><td align='center'>3904-4880</td> <td align='center'>683</td><td align='center'>614-768</td> <td>0.0112<td></tr> <tr><th align=center>U</th><td align='center'>49,954</td><td align='center'>3465</td><td align='center'>3072-3875</td> <td align='center'>865</td><td align='center'>774-975</td> <td>0.0287</td></tr> <tr><th align=center>UVW1</th><td align='center'>60,690</td><td align='center'>2600</td><td align='center'>2253-2946</td> <td align='center'>1154</td><td align='center'>1017-1330</td><td>0.0277</td></tr> <tr><th align=center>UVM2</th><td align='center'>56,977</td><td align='center'>2246</td><td align='center'>1997-2495</td> <td align='center'>1334</td><td align='center'>1201-1501</td>>td>0.0314</td></tr> <tr><th align=center>UVW2</th><td align='center'>54,590</td><td align='center'>1928</td><td align='center'>1600-2256</td> <td align='center'>1554</td><td align='center'>1328-1874</td><td>0.0260</td></tr> </table> <strong>Observation counts and bandpasses for UVOT Filters</strong> <p> Provenance: Data generated from public images at HEASARC archive.

- The Swift XRT (<a href="https://ads.harvard.edu/abs/2005SSRv..120..165B">Burrows et al 2005, SSRv, 120, 165</a>) is a sensitive, broad-band (0.2 - 10 keV) X-ray imager with an effective area of about 125 cm**2 at 1.5 keV. The 600 x 600 pixel CCD at the focus provides a 23.6' x 23.6' field of view with a pixel scale of 2.36". The point spread function is 18" (HPD) at 1.5 keV. <p> These XRT surveys represent the data from the first 12.5 years of Swift X-ray observations. They include all data taken in photon counting mode. A total of just over 8% of the sky has some non-zero exposure. The fraction of sky exposed as a function of the exposure is given in the following table: <table border> <tr><th>Exposure</th><td>>0</td> <td>10</td> <td>30</td> <td>100</td> <td>300</td> <td>1000</td> <td>3000</td> <td>1000</td> <td>30000</td> <td>100000</td><td>300000</td></tr> <tr><th>Coverage</th> <td> 8.42 </td><td> 8.37 </td><td> 8.29 </td><td> 7.67 </td><td> 7.29 </td><td> 5.68 </td> <td> 3.40 </td><td> 1.26 </td><td> 0.35 </td><td> 0.044 </td><td> 0.00118</td></th> </table> The individual exposure and counts maps have been combined into a Hierarchical Progressive Survey (HiPS) where the data are stored in tiles in the HEALPix projection at a number of different resulutions. The highest resolution pixels (HEALPix order 17) have a size of roughly 1.6". Data are also stored at lower resolutions at factors of 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, 1/16, and 1/32, and in an all sky image with a resolution 1/256 of the higest resolution. An intensity map has been created as the ratio of the counts and exposure maps. <p> These surveys combine the basic count and exposure maps provided as standard products in the Swift XRT archive in obsid/xrt/products/*xpc_(sk|ex).img.gz. The surveys were created as follows: <ul> <li>All of the exposure maps available in the archive in mid-May 2017 were combined using the CDS-developed Hipsgen tool. This includes 129,063 observations for which both count and exposure files were found in PC mode. Three exposures where there was a counts map but no exposure map were ignored. A few exposure files had more than one exposure extension. 1,082 files had two extensions and 1 file had 3 extensions. The 1084 HDUs in extensions were extracted as separate files and included in the total exposure. The value of 0 was given to the Hipsgen software as the null value for the FITS files. This caused the CDS software to treat such pixels as missing rather than 0 exposure. <li> The counts data was extracted from the counts maps for each observation using <i>SkyView</i> developed software. For any pixel in which a count was recorded, the corresponding exposure file was checked and if there was any exposure (in any of the associated extensions), then the count was retained. If there was no exposure in any of the extensions of the corresponding exposure file, the counts in the pixel were omitted. Once a count was accepted, the overlap between the counts map pixel and the pixels of the corresponding HiPS tile (or tiles) was computed. Each count was then assigned entirely to a single pixel in the HiPS tile randomly but with the destination pixel probabilities weighted by area of the overlap. Thus if several pixels were found in a given counts map pixel they might be assigned to different pixels in the output image. The HiPS pixels (~1.6") used were of substantially higher resolution than the XRT resolution of 18" and somewhat higher than the counts map resolution of 2.36". <p> A total of 183,750,428 photons were extracted from the counts maps while 15,226 were rejected as being from pixels with 0 exposure. There were 501 pixels which required special treatment as straddling the boundaries of the HEALPix projection. <li> The resulting counts tiles were then clipped using the exposure tiles that had been previously generated. Basically this transferred the coverage of the exposure tiles to the counts tiles. Any counts pixel where the corresponding exposure pixel was a NaN was changed to a NaN to indicate that there was no coverage in this region. <p> During the clipping process 137,730 HiPS level 8 were clipped (of 786,432 over the entire sky). There were 12,236 tiles for which there was some exposure but no counts found. During the clipping process 2 photons were found on pixels where there was no corresponding exposure in the exposure tiles. This can happen when the pixel assignment process noted above shifts a photon just outside the exposed region but should be -- as it was -- rare. These photons were deleted. <li> After creating the clipped level 8 counts maps, level 7 to 3 tiles and an all sky map where generated by averaging pixels 2x2 to decrease each level. When adding the four pixels in the level N map together only pixels whose value was not NaN were considered. <li> Finally an intensity map was created by dividing the counts tiles by the exposure tiles. To eliminate gross fluctuations due to rare counts in regions with very low exposure, only regions with exposure > 1 second were retained. A total of 30 photons were deleted due to this criterion. </ul> <p> Note that while any sampler may in principle be used with these data, the Spline sampler may give unexpected results. The spline computation propogates NaNs thought the image and means that even occasional NaNs can corrupt the output image completely. NaNs are very common in this dataset. Also, if the region straddles a boundary in the HEALPix projection, the size of the requested input region is likely to exceed memory limits since the HiPS data are considered a single very large image.

- Short Name:
- 2MASS
- Date:

- Publisher:
- NASA/GSFC HEASARC
- Description:
- 2MASS data were collected by uniformly scanning the entire sky in three near-infrared bands to detect and characterize point sources brighter than about 1 mJy in each band, with signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) greater than 10, using a pixel size of 2.0". This achieves an 80,000-fold improvement in sensitivity relative to earlier surveys. 2MASS used two new, highly-automated 1.3-m telescopes, one at Mt. Hopkins, AZ, and one at CTIO, Chile. Each telescope is equipped with a three-channel camera, each channel consisting of a 256 by 256 array of HgCdTe detectors, capable of observing the sky simultaneously at J (1.25 microns), H (1.65 microns), and K<sub>s</sub> (2.17 microns). <p>2MASS images and other data products can be obtained at the <a href="https://irsa.ipac.caltech.edu/applications/2MASS/QL/">NASA/IPAC Infrared Science Archive</a> Provenance: The Two Micron All Sky Survey is a joint project of the University of Massachusetts and the Infrared Processing and Analysis Center, funded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration and the National Science Foundation..

- Publisher:
- NASA/GSFC HEASARC
- Description:
- The UKIDSS survey is the next generation infrared survey, a successor to 2MASS. It will ultimately cover 7000 square degrees in the northern sky at both high and low Galactic latitudes and goes about three magnitudes deeper than 2MASS in the coverage area. Most data is taken in the J, H and K bands. A Y band is available in some regions. <p> UKIDSS is comprised of several distinct surveys in different regions of the sky. Of primary interest to <i>SkyView</i> users (since they have the largest sky coverage) are the Large Area Survey, the Galactic Plane Survey, and the Galactic Clusters Survey. There are deep and ultadeep surveys which cover much smaller fractions of the sky. The planned coverage for the UKIDSS surveys may be seen at the <a href="http://wsa.roe.ac.uk/theSurveys.html"> UKIDSS survey page</a>. All UKIDSS data products are published by the Wide-Field Astronomy Unit (WFAU) at the University of Edinburgh through the <a href="http://wsa.roe.ac.uk/">WFCAM Science Archive (WSA)</a> which includes more detailed coverage information for each data release. <p> <i>SkyView</i> currently uses the DR11 data release. Many thanks to the WSA team at WFAU for providing an interface to make all the latest data easily accessed. Note that coverage is not uniform across the different bands so that at a given point there might be H and K band data, but nothing in the J band. Provenance: UKIDSS Project.

- VLA Survey of SDSS Stripe 82
- Short Name:
- Stripe82VLA
- Date:
- 10 May 2024
- Publisher:
- NASA/GSFC HEASARC
- Description:
- This survey is a deep, high resolution radio survey of a relatively small region that has particularly deep coverage in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. As described in the reference abstract: This is a high-resolution radio survey of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) Southern Equatorial Stripe, a.k.a., Stripe 82. This 1.4 GHz survey was conducted from 2007 to 2009 with the Very Large Array primarily in the A-configuration, with supplemental B-configuration data to increase sensitivity to extended structure. The survey has an angular resolution of 1.8" and achieves a median rms noise of 53 microJy/beam over 92 square degrees. This is the deepest 1.4 GHz survey to achieve this large of an area filling in the phase space between small&deep and large&shallow surveys. <p> The astrometric accuracy of the data is excellent with errors in observed sources of 0.10" in both RA and declination. A comparison with the SDSS DR7 Quasar Catalog confirms that the astrometry is well tied to the optical reference frame with mean offsets of 0.02+/-0.01" in RA and 0.01+/-0.02 in declination.

- Short Name:

- Date:

- Publisher:
- NASA/GSFC HEASARC
- Description:
- From the <a href="https://wise2.ipac.caltech.edu/docs/release/allsky">WISE mission site:</a>. <hr> NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) mapped the sky at 3.4, 4.6, 12 and 22 micrometers in 2010 with an angular resolution of 6.1", 6.4", 6.5" and 12.0" in the four bands. WISE achieved a 5 sigma point source sensitivities better and 0.08, 0.11 1 and 6 mJy in unconfused regions on the ecliptic in the four bands. Sensitivity improves toward the ecliptic poles due to denser coverage and lower zodaical background. <p> The WISE All-WISE includes all data taking during the WISE full cryogenic phase, from January 7, 2010 to August 6, 2010, that were processed with improved calibrations and reduction algorithms and combines this with the NEOWISE postcryogenic survey to form the most comprehensive view of the full mid-infrared sky. bibcode=1995ApJ...451..564V,2010ApJ...713..912W <hr> <p> SkyView includes the four WISE bands as separate surveys. Many non-image data products are available at the WISE site. Note that WISE data is distributed in relatively large (>50 MB) image files. When SkyView generates an image for a part of the sky where it has not yet cached the data from the IPAC server there may be a delay as full tiles are downloaded even when only a small fraction of a tile is needed. Images in cached regions, are generated much faster. Access to the WISE data uses the VO SIA interface maintained at IPAC. Even when data is cached, the SIA service must still be available for successful queries. Provenance: WISE Archive (IRSA/IPAC). This is a service of NASA HEASARC.

- WMAP Nine Year Galaxy Removed

- Publisher:
- NASA/GSFC HEASARC
- Description:
- These survey represents a combination of the 9-year data combined in a way that is intended to minimize the contribution from the galaxy. The data measure the temperature deviation from a uniform black body. <p> The original data are available at the <https://lambda.gsfc.nasa.gov>LAMBDA archive</a>. <p> The original data are stored in HEALPix pixels. SkyView treats HEALPix as a standard projection but assumes that the HEALPix data is in a projection plane with a rotation of -45 degrees. The rotation transforms the HEALPix pixels from diamonds to squares so that the boundaries of the pixels are treated properly. The special HealPixImage class is used so that SkyView can use the HEALPix FITS files directly. The HealPixImage simulates a rectangular image but translates the pixels from that image to the nested HEALPix structure that is used by the WMAP data. </p> Provenance: WMAP Mission/LAMBDA archive.
