NED service to retrieve Photometry for a named object.
This service retrieves photometric data for a named object.
The data include continuum measurements spanning the entire
observed spectrum (radio through gamma rays).
Measurements are provided in their published units, and they are also
converted to common units to construct spectral energy distributions.
The Spitzer Infrared Nearby Galaxy Survey is a comprehensive infrared imaging and spectroscopic survey of 75 nearby galaxies. Its primary goal is to characterize the infrared emission of galaxies and their principal infrared-emitting components, across a broad range of galaxy properties and star formation environments. SINGS provides new insights into the physical processes connecting star formation to the interstellar medium properties of galaxies and provides a vital foundation for understanding infrared observations of the distant universe and ultraluminous and active galaxies.
The Filter Profile Service provides standardized information, including transmission curves and calibration, about astronomical filters. The service is designed to be compliant to the VO Photometry Data Model.
The Extended IRAS Galaxy Atlas (EIGA) is an extension of the original IRAS Galaxy Atlas (IGA) to b = 6.7 deg.. High resolution images at 60 microns and 100 microns have been produced to match the latitude coverage of radio continuum observations obtained as part of the Canadian Galactic Plane Survey (CGPS). Also associated with the EIGA and IGA is the Mid-Infrared Galaxy Atlas (MIGA).
The Infrared Telescope in Space (IRTS) is a cryogenically cooled, small infrared telescope that flew from March - April in 1995. It surveyed approximately 10% of the sky with a relatively wide beam during its 20 day mission.
Four focal-plane instruments , the Near-Infrared Spectrometer (NIRS), the Mid-Infrared Spectrometer (MIRS), the Far-Infrared Line Mapper (FILM), and the Far-Infrared Photometer (FIRP) made simultaneous observations of the sky at wavelengths ranging from 1 to 1000 um.
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 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).
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 Spitzer Wide-area InfraRed Extragalactic Survey

Description:
* A wide-area, high galactic latitude imaging survey conducted using the Spitzer MIPS far-infrared and IRAC mid-infrared cameras. The satellite data will be complemented by an extensive program of ground-based optical, near-infrared and radio observations.
