1. Balloon-borne Large Aperture Submillimeter Telescope
ID:

Title:
Balloon-borne Large Aperture Submillimeter Telescope
Short Name:
BLAST
Date:

Publisher:
NASA/IPAC Infrared Science Archive
Description:
The Balloon-borne Large-Aperture Sub-millimeter Telescope (BLAST) is a 2-m telescope that conducted the first wide-area (> many square degrees) sub-mm surveys at wavelengths 250--500 um. Built and flown by an international collaboration headed by the University of Pennsylvania (P.I. Mark Devlin), the telescope uses a prototype of the SPIRE camera for the Herschel satellite. Despite parts of this band being available to ground-based telescopes from high-altitude sites such as Mauna Kea (e.g. JCMT) and Chile (e.g. future ALMA site), BLAST surveys are currently un-matched in sensitivity and area given the comparatively negligible atmospheric water vapour at 38 km altitude.
2. Bolocam Galactic Plane Survey

Title:
Bolocam Galactic Plane Survey
Short Name:

Publisher:
NASA/IPAC Infrared Science Archive
Description:
The Bolocam Galactic Plane Survey (BGPS) is a 1.1 mm continuum survey of the Galactic Plane made using Bolocam on the Caltech Submillimeter Observatory. Millimeter-wavelength thermal dust emission reveals the repositories of the densest molecular gas, ranging in scale from cores to whole clouds. By pinpointing these regions, the connection of this gas to nascent and ongoing star formation may be explored. The BGPS coverage totals 170 square degrees (with 33" FWHM effective resolution). The survey is contiguous over the range -10.5 ≤ l ≤ 90.5, |b| ≤ 0.5. Towards the Cygnus X spiral arm, the coverage was flared to |b| ≤ 1.5 for 75.5 ≤ l ≤ 87.5. In addition, cross-cuts to |b| ≤ 1.5 were made at l = 3, 15, 30 and 31. The total area of this section is 133 square degrees. With the exception of the increase in latitude, no pre-selection criteria were applied to the coverage in this region. In addition to the contiguous region, four targeted regions in the outer Galaxy were observed: IC1396 (9 square degrees, 97.5 ≤ l ≤ 100.5, 2.25 ≤ l ≤ 5.25), a region towards the Perseus Arm (4 square degrees centered on l = 111, b=0 near NGC7538), W3/4/5 (18 square degrees, 132.5 ≤ l ≤ 138.5) and Gem OB1 (6 square degrees, 187.5 ≤ l ≤ 193.5). The survey has detected approximately 8,400 sources, to an rms noise level in the maps ranging from 30 to 60 mJy beam-1. The BGPS survey and catalog provide an important database for sub/millimeter observations with the Herschel Space Observatory, ALMA, SCUBA-2, APEX, and others.

NASA/IPAC Infrared Science Archive
Description:
The Cluster Lensing And Supernova survey with Hubble (CLASH) is an HST Multi-Cycle Treasury program (PI: Marc Postman) to survey 25 massive galaxy clusters at 16 wavelengths spanning from the near-UV to the near-IR (Postman et al. (2012)). The full HST dataset and associated catalogs and gravitational lens models are available at MAST. A series of programs with Spitzer have covered all CLASH galaxy clusters with IRAC Channels 1 and 2 (3.6 and 4.5 micron). Several of the targets include Channels 3 and 4 (5.8 and 8 micron) data. Spitzer mosaics, catalogs, and PSF images are available at IRSA.

All target stars were observed with the PACS 100 and 160 micron filters. A subset of stars were additionally observed with the PACS 70 micron filter and the SPIRE 250, 350 and 500 micron filters.

DUSTiNGS consists of a sample of 50 dwarf galaxies within 1.5 Mpc, which have been mapped with IRAC channels 1 and 2 (3.6 and 4.5 microns). The sample consists of 37 dwarf spheroidal, 8 dwarf irregular, and 5 transition-type galaxies. The DUSTiNGS data release includes images and source catalogs based on uniform Spitzer 3.6 and 4.5 micron observations.
6. Evolution of Interstellar Dust

Title:
Evolution of Interstellar Dust
Short Name:
SAG-4
Date:

Publisher:
NASA/IPAC Infrared Science Archive
Description:
The goal of the "Evolution of interstellar dust" guaranteed time key project (PI: A. Abergel & A. Zavagno) is to explore with Herschel the far-infrared (FIR) to submillimeter (submm) emission properties of dust particles in a wide range of regions within our Galaxy, from very diffuse clouds to sites of star formation and proto-stars. Photometric data taken with SPIRE and PACS are complemented with spectroscopy using the FTS of SPIRE and PACS to derive the physical conditions of the gas from the lines of [CI], the high-level rotational lines of CO, and the major cooling lines of [CII] and [OI].
7. Formation and Evolution of Planetary Systems

Title:
Formation and Evolution of Planetary Systems
Short Name:
FEPS
Date:

Publisher:
NASA/IPAC Infrared Science Archive
Description:
The Formation and Evolution of Planetary Systems (FEPS) Spitzer Legacy program was designed to characterize the evolution of circumstellar gas and dust around solar-type stars between ages of 3 Myr and 3 Gyr. To achieve these goals, FEPS obtained spectrophotometric observations with the Spitzer Space Telescope for a sample of 328 stars. The observing strategy was to measure the spectral energy distribution (SED) between wavelengths of 3.6 and 70 μm with IRAC and MIPS photometry, and between 8 and 35 μm with low-resolution IRS spectra. In addition, the FEPS program obtained MIPS 160 μm photometry for 80 stars to search for colder dust, and high-resolution IRS spectra for 33 sources to probe for circumstellar gas.

Publisher:
NASA/IPAC Infrared Science Archive
Description:
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.
