The Eureka Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) Far-IR Lockman Hole (ELFLock) maps are intended to measure the Far-IR background radiation with 160-micron observations from the Multiband Imaging Photometer for Spitzer (MIPS). The download gives the largest contiguous low-cirrus 160 micron far-infrared map made with Spitzer data, covering 8.5 square degrees. It also differs from standard Spitzer-processed mosaic maps in that the background information is preserved, where it is normally removed by median filtering (for point-source studies). The map is composed of BCD data from S16 processing of data sets with these Spitzer Astronomical Observation Requests (AORs). Its flux units are MJy/Sr and the pixel size is 15.9", though flux = 0.0 for pixels without data.
Far-Infrared Deep Extragalactic Legacy Survey (FIDEL) contains sensitive and extensive far-infrared deep field observations with Spitzer to detect warm dust emission from hundreds of relatively ordinary starburst galaxies and active galactic nuclei at redshifts of 1 to 2 (7 to 10 billion years ago), and thousands more nearby. The survey also detected tens of thousands of high redshift objects at mid-infrared wavelengths. The program obtained data in three fields on the sky. The bulk of the data is in two fields, the Extended Chandra Deep Field South (ECDFS) and the Extended Groth Strip (EGS). A smaller amount of additional data was obtained in the GOODS-North area.
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.
Herschel data from the 'Galactic Observations of Terahertz C' (GOT Cplus) Open Time Key Program (KPOT_wlanger_1) are available here using spatial and visualization tools. GOT Cplus surveyed the Galactic Plane in the 158 micron (1.9 THz) fine structure transition of [CII] using Herschel's HIFI instrument. GOT Cplus is a sparse survey containing 454 lines of sight throughout the Galactic Disk, plus two position-velocity maps across the Galactic center.
The 'Dust, Ice, and Gas in Time' (DIGIT Key Project), 'FU Orionis Objects Surveyed with Herschel' (FOOSH OT1), and 'CO in Protostars' (COPS OT2) Herschel programs observed 70 protostars, young stellar objects, and FU Orionis objects with the Herschel PACS and SPIRE spectrometers. For simplicity, all three programs are referred to as 'DIGIT' here and in the documentation.
Herschel Exploitation of the Local Galaxy Andromeda
Short Name:
HELGA
Date:
27 Oct 2022 19:00:00
Publisher:
NASA/IPAC Infrared Science Archive
Description:
HELGA observed Andromeda on a 5.5x2.5 degree field, an area ~4.5 larger with respect to any previous IR observations, with SPIRE and PACS fast scan Parallel Mode, thus obtaining the most complete FIR survey of this galaxy both in terms of spatial mapping and spectral coverage.
Herschel Data from the "Galactic Cold Cores: A Herschel Survey of the Source Populations Revealed by Planck" (Cold Cores) Open-Time Key Program are available here. IRSA is serving the Cold Cores imaging of 115 PACS and 116 SPIRE fields containing Planck cold dust detections. This is Herschel program KPOT_mjuvela_1.
The Great Observatories Origins Deep Survey (GOODS) aims to unite extremely deep observations from NASA's Great Observatories (Spitzer, Hubble and Chandra), ESA's Herschel and XMM-Newton, and the most powerful ground-based facilities. The aim is to survey the distant universe to the faintest flux limits across the broadest range of wavelengths.
Herschel Inventory of the Agents of Galaxy Evolution
Short Name:
HERITAGE
Date:
27 Oct 2022 19:00:00
Publisher:
NASA/IPAC Infrared Science Archive
Description:
The HERschel Inventory of The Agents of Galaxy Evolution (HERITAGE) open time key program mapped the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) and Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) at 100, 160, 250, 350, and 500 microns using Herschel's PACS and SPIRE instruments. The overriding science goal of HERITAGE is to study the life cycle of matter as traced by dust in the LMC and SMC.
