CDS
Description:
We present a ~1.5x8{deg}^2^ (220x1195pc^2^) multiband imaging photometer for Spitzer 24um image of the Galactic center (GC) and an accompanying point-source list. This image is the highest spatial resolution (6"~0.25pc) and sensitivity map ever taken across the GC at this wavelength, showing the emission by warm dust in unprecedented detail. Over 120000 point sources are identified in this catalog with signal-to-noise ratios greater than five and flux densities from 0.6mJy to 9Jy.
2. Galactic midplane Spitzer red sources

Galactic midplane Spitzer red sources

Description:
We present a highly reliable flux-limited census of 18949 point sources in the Galactic midplane that have intrinsically red mid-infrared colors. These sources were selected from the Spitzer Space Telescope Galactic Legacy Infrared Midplane Survey Extraordinaire (GLIMPSE) I and II surveys of 274{deg}^2^ of the Galactic midplane, and consist mostly of high- and intermediate-mass young stellar objects (YSOs) and asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars. The selection criteria were carefully chosen to minimize the effects of position-dependent sensitivity, saturation, and confusion. The distribution of sources on the sky and their location in the Infrared Array Camera and the Multiband Image Photometer for Spitzer 24um color-magnitude and color-color space are presented. Using this large sample, we find that YSOs and AGB stars can be mostly separated by simple color-magnitude selection criteria into approximately 50%-70% of YSOs and 30%-50% of AGB stars. Planetary nebulae and background galaxies together represent at most 2%-3% of all the red sources. 1004 red sources in the GLIMPSE II region, mostly AGB stars with high mass-loss rates, show significant (>=0.3mag) variability at 4.5 and/or 8.0um. With over 11,000 likely YSOs and over 7000 likely AGB stars, this is to date the largest uniform census of AGB stars and high- and intermediate-mass YSOs in the Milky Way Galaxy.

Description:
The Galactic Legacy Infrared Midplane Survey Extraordinaire (GLIMPSE), is a survey of Galactic Plane central parts made with the Infrared Array Camera (IRAC) aboard the Spitzer Space Telescope (SST). It covers approximately 220 square degrees, between galactic longitudes +/-65{deg} and +/-1{deg} in galactic latitude (up to 4.2{deg} in the central parts). The four IRAC bands are centered at approximately 3.6, 4.5, 5.8 and 8.0{mu}m. The GLIMPSE combines the 3 surveys: * GLIMPSE-I covers the longitude ranges |l|=10--65{deg} and the latitude range |b|<=1{deg} (Benjamin et al. 2003PASP..115..953B) * GLIMPSE-II covers the longitude range of |l|<=10{deg}, and a latitude range |b|<=1{deg} from |l|=5--10, |b|<=1.5 for |l|=2--5, and |b|<=2{deg} for |l|<=2. GLIMPSE-II coverage excludes the Galactic center region |l|<=1, |b|<=0.75 observed by the GALCEN GO program (PID=3677). * GLIMPSE-3D adds vertical extensions up to |b|=4.2{deg} near the galactic center, and up to |b|=3{deg} in selected other parts of the Galaxy (+/-10, 18.5, 25, 30, and -15 (345){deg}). GLIMPSE-II had two-epoch coverage for a total of three visits on the sky. The observations consisted of two 1.2 second integrations at each position in the first epoch of data taking (September 2005) and a single 1.2 second integration at each position six months later (April 2006). The highly reliable v2.0 GLIMPSEII Catalog (v2.0_GLMIIC) consists of point sources that are detected at least twice in one band and at least once in an adjacent band and a S/N > 5 cut for the band with the two detections. There are also faint and bright flux limits on the Catalog entries. The more complete v2.0 Archive (v2.0_GLMIIA) has less stringent criteria, namely two detections in any bands, those detections having a S/N > 5. The IRAC data were bandmerged with the 2MASS All-Sky Point Source Catalog. See the GLIMPSEII v2.0 Data Products & Data Delivery document for more details. The catalog available from CDS merges the 3 surveys GLIMPSE-I (v2.0), GLIMPSE-II (v2.0), and GLIMPSE-3D; Catalog and Archive records are also merged here. In the regions of overlap between the 3 surveys (e.g. longitude around 10{deg}) preference was given to (1) GLIMPSE-II, as recommended in the GLIMPSE documents of May 2007 (glimpse1_v2.0.pdf) and April 2008 (glimpse2-v2.0.pdf); (2) GLIMPSE-I, and (3) GLIMPSE-3D sources. Sources from different surveys were merged if their position is closer than 0.1arcsec.

Description:
We present a census of circumstellar disks in the Chamaeleon I star-forming region. Using the Infrared Array Camera and the Multiband Imaging Photometer on board the Spitzer Space Telescope, we have obtained images of Chamaeleon I at 3.6, 4.5, 5.8, 8.0, and 24um. To search for new disk-bearing members of the cluster, we have performed spectroscopy on objects that have red colors in these data. Through this work, we have discovered four new members of Chamaeleon I with spectral types of M4, M6, M7.5, and L0.

Title:
MIPSGAL 24{mu}m point source catalog
Short Name:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
In this contribution, we describe the applied methods to construct a 24{mu}m based point source catalog derived from the image data of the MIPSGAL 24{mu}m Galactic Plane Survey and the corresponding data products. The high quality catalog product contains 933818 sources, with a total of 1353228 in the full archive catalog. The source tables include positional and photometric information derived from the 24{mu}m images, source quality and confusion flags, and counterpart photometry from matched 2MASS, GLIMPSE, and WISE point sources. Completeness decay data cubes are constructed at 1' angular resolution that describe the varying background levels over the MIPSGAL field and the ability to extract sources of a given magnitude from this background. The completeness decay cubes are included in the set of data products. We present the results of our efforts to verify the astrometric and photometric calibration of the catalog, and present several analyses of minor anomalies in these measurements to justify adopted mitigation strategies.

Title:
MIPS survey of YSOs in Vela Molecular Ridge-D
Short Name:

Date:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
A new, unbiased Spitzer MIPS imaging survey (~1.8deg^2^) of the young stellar content of the Vela Molecular Ridge-D (VMR-D) is presented. The survey is complete down to 5 and 250mJy at 24 and 70{mu}m, respectively. A total of 849 sources are detected at 24{mu}m, and 52 of them also have a 70{mu}m counterpart. The VMR-D region is one that we have already partially mapped in dust and gas millimeter emission, and we discuss the correlation between the Spitzer compact sources and the millimeter contours. About half of the 24{mu}m sources are located inside the region delimited by the ^12^CO(1-0) contours, corresponding to only one-third of the full area mapped with MIPS. Therefore, the 24{mu}m source density increases by about 100% moving from outside to inside the CO contours. For the 70{mu}m sources, the corresponding density increase is a factor of 4. About 400 sources of these have a 2MASS counterpart, and we have used this to construct a Ks versus Ks-[24] diagram and to identify the protostellar population inside the cloud.

Description:
We present the Spitzer Archival Far-InfraRed Extragalactic Survey (SAFIRES). This program produces refined mosaics and source lists for all far-infrared (FIR) extragalactic data taken during the more than six years of the cryogenic operation of the Spitzer Space Telescope. The SAFIRES products consist of FIR data in two wavelength bands (70 and 160{mu}m) across approximately 180 square degrees of sky, with source lists containing far-infrared fluxes for almost 40000 extragalactic point sources. Thus, SAFIRES provides a large, robust archival far-infrared data set suitable for many scientific goals.

10. SIRTF First-Look Survey

SIRTF First-Look Survey
Short Name:
J/AJ/125/2411

Publisher:

Description:
The First-Look Survey (FLS) of the Space Infrared Telescope Facility (SIRTF) will cover about 5deg^2^ centered on J2000.0 (17:18+59:30) in order to characterize the extragalactic infrared sky 2 orders of magnitude deeper than the IRAS survey. We expect that most of the FLS far-infrared ({lambda} = 160, 70, and 24 {mu}m) sources will be star-forming galaxies obeying the very tight far-infrared/radio correlation and will be continuum radio sources with flux densities S>~100{mu}Jy at {nu}=1.4GHz. Conversely, radio sources stronger than 100{mu}Jy are usually powered by star-forming galaxies, plus some active galactic nuclei, and most should be detectable by the SIRTF FLS. Thus, a sensitive radio survey can be used to select and identify most of the SIRTF FLS source population before launch. We used the B configuration of the VLA to make an image of the FLS area at {nu}=1.4GHz with {sigma}=~23{mu}Jy/beam rms fluctuations, {theta}=5'' resolution, and {sigma}_{alpha}_=~{sigma}_{delta}_=~0.5'' rms uncertainties in right ascension and declination. The resulting radio image and catalog of 3565 radio components with peak flux densities Sp>=5{sigma}=115{mu}Jy/beam have been released via the Web to expedite follow-up optical identification and spectroscopy.
