The IRAS Galaxy Atlas (IGA) is a high resolution image atlas of the Galactic plane at 60 and 100 microns, it has been produced using the IRAS satellite data. The HIRES program was developed by the Infrared Processing and Analysis Center (IPAC) to produce high resolution (~ 1 arcmin) images from IRAS data using the Maximum Correlation Method (H.H. Aumann, J.W. Fowler and M. Melnyk, 1990, Astronomical Journal, 99, 1674).
The IRAS Sky Survey Atlas (ISSA) is a survey of 98% of the sky in four bands with effective wavelengths of 12, 25, 60 and 100 microns, which was done during a ten month period from January to November, 1983. The ISSA covers the sky with 430 fields. Each field is a 12.5 deg. by 12.5 deg. region centered every 10 deg. along declination bands which are spaced 10 deg. apart.
The LIFE Target Star Database contains information useful
for the planned `LIFE mission`_ (mid-ir, nulling
interferometer in space). It characterizes possible
target systems including information about stellar,
planetary and disk properties. The data itself is mainly
a collection from different other catalogs.
Note that LIFE's target database is living
data. The content – and to some extent even structure – of these
tables may change at any time without prior warning.

Mark-I is a solar spectrophotometer located and operated at Observatorio del Teide (Tenerife, Canary Islands, Spain) that provides precise radial velocity observations of the Sun-as-a-star at the Potassium KI 7699A absorption solar line. Observations extend from 1976 to 2012 with only summer campaigns from 1976 to 1983.
The Midcourse Space Experiment (MSX), a Ballistic Missile Defense Organization satellite, was launched in April 1996. The first ten months of the mission were devoted to mid-infrared observations with a solid hydrogen-cooled telescope. This instrument had five line-scanned focal plane arrays that spanned the spectral region from 4.2 to 26 microns.
The Mid-Infrared Galaxy Atlas (MIGA) is a high resolution image atlas of the Galactic plane at 12 microns and 25 microns, it has been produced using the HIRES processed infrared data from the IRAS satellite. It is a counterpart to the far-infrared IRAS Galaxy Atlas (IGA) and the Extended IRAS Galaxy Atlas (EIGA).
The NASA/IPAC Extragalactic Database (NED) provides a comprehensive fusion
of multi-wavelength data for hundreds of millions of objects located beyond
the Milky Way galaxy. As new observations are published in NASA mission
archives, journal articles and sky survey catalogs, they are cross-identified
with prior measurements and integrated in a unified database. Numerous derived
quantities are also provided to facilitate scientific research. For more
information see http://ned.ipac.caltech.edu/
NED service to query for Objects by Reference Code:
The NASA/IPAC Extragalactic Database (NED) provides a comprehensive fusion
of multi-wavelength data for hundreds of millions of objects located beyond
the Milky Way galaxy.
This service searches NED's master list of extragalactic objects by (19 digit)
journal reference code. It returns object names, positions, and
redshifts if available. It also returns counts of bibliographic references, notes,
photometry, positions, redshifts, diameters, and positional associations.
The Southern H-Alpha Sky Survey Atlas is the product of a wide-angle
digital imaging survey of the H-alpha emission from the warm ionized
interstellar gas of our Galaxy. This atlas covers the southern hemisphere
sky (declinations less than +15 degrees). The observations were taken with
a robotic camera operating at Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory (CTIO)
in Chile. The atlas consists of 2168 images covering 542 fields. There are four
images available for each field: <b>H-alpha</b>, <b>Continuum</b>, <b>Continuum-Corrected</b>
(the difference of the H-alpha and Continuum images), and <b>Smoothed</b> (median filtered to 5 pixel, or 4.0 arcminute, resolution to remove star residuals better). The <a href="https://amundsen.swarthmore.edu/SHASSA">SHASSA website</a> has more details of the data and the status of this and related projects. Images can also be
obtained from the <a href="https://amundsen.astro.swarthmore.edu/SHASSA/#Images">Download Images</a> section at the SHASSA site. Provenance: John E. Gaustad (Swarthmore College), Peter R. McCullough (University of Illinois), Wayne Rosing (Las Cumbres Observatory), and Dave Van Buren (Extrasolar Research Corporation). This is a service of NASA HEASARC.
