Description:
MIPSGAL is a survey of the inner 248 square degrees of the Galactic plane at 24 and 70 microns using the MIPS instrument aboard the Spitzer Space Telescope. The survey covers Galactic latitudes of -1° < b < +1° for Galactic longitudes of l < 62° and l > 298°. Version 3.0 of the MIPSGAL data includes mosaics only at 24um, but covering the entire survey region. |b| < 1° is covered for -68° < l < 69°, and |b| < 3° is covered for -8° < l < 9°.
The Galactic Legacy Infrared Midplane Survey Extraordinaire (GLIMPSE) program covered the Galactic plane with the Spitzer IRAC instrument. GLIMPSEI covered 220 sq. degrees at |l|=10d-65d and b=-1d - +1d. GLIMPSEII covered the Galactic Center, l=-10d - +10d. GLIMPSE3D added vertical extensions, typically to |b|<+3d. GLIMPSE360 covered the outer Galaxy (l=65d-265d) with IRAC 3.6 micron and 4.5 micron imaging. The Vela-Carina program covered l=255d-295d.
