This is IRSA's Hierarchical Progressive Survey (HiPS) node. HiPS is a hierarchical scheme for the description, stoage, and access of sky survey data. The system is based on hierarchical tiling of sky regions at finer and finer spatial resolution which facilitates a progressive view of a survey, and supports multi-resolution zooming and panning.
This is IRSA's implementation of version 2 of the IVOA Simple Image Access (SIA) protocol. Our SIA v2 service allows a rich variety of searches against IRSA's varied holdings.

Key Insights on Nearby Galaxies: A Far-Infrared Survey with Herschel

Description:
KINGFISH is an imaging and spectroscopic survey of 61 nearby (d<30 Mpc) galaxies, chosen to cover a wide range of galaxy properties and local interstellar medium (ISM) environments found in the nearby universe. Its broad goals are to characterize the ISM of present-day galaxies, the heating and cooling of their gaseous and dust components, and to better understand the physical processes linking star formation and the ISM.
This service provides access to and information about the 2MASS All-Sky Atlas Images. Atlas Images delivered by this service are in FITS format and contain full WCS information in their headers. Additionally, the image headers contain photometric zero point information. 2MASS Atlas Images are suitable for quantitative photometric measurements.
2MASS has uniformly scanned the entire sky in three near-infrared bands to detect and characterize point sources brighter than about 1 mJy in each band, with signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) greater than 1.
The 2MASS All-Sky Data Release contains Image and Catalog data covering 99.998% of the sky, derived from all northern and southern Survey observations. The All-Sky Release products include a Point Source Catalog (PSC), containing positions and photometry for 470,992,970 objects, an Extended Source Catalog (XSC), containing positions, photometry and basic shape information for 1,647,599 resolved sources, most of which are galaxies, and the Image Atlas, containing over 4,121,439 J, H and Ks FITS images covering the sky.
