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. This is a service of NASA HEASARC.
This is IRSA's implementation of version 2 of the IVOA Simple Image Access (SIA) protocol. Our SIA v2 service allows a rich variety of searches against IRSA's varied holdings.

Key Insights on Nearby Galaxies: A Far-Infrared Survey with Herschel
Short Name:
KINGFISH
Date:
16 Mar 2017 01:00:00
Publisher:
NASA/IPAC Infrared Science Archive
Description:
KINGFISH is an imaging and spectroscopic survey of 61 nearby (d<30 Mpc) galaxies, chosen to cover a wide range of galaxy properties and local interstellar medium (ISM) environments found in the nearby universe. Its broad goals are to characterize the ISM of present-day galaxies, the heating and cooling of their gaseous and dust components, and to better understand the physical processes linking star formation and the ISM.
LABOCA Extended Chandra Deep Field South Submillimetre Survey
Short Name:
CDFS LESS
Date:
18 Apr 2025
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. This is a service of NASA HEASARC.
