Title
MIPSGAL 24 micron Archive
Description
The MIPSGAL Survey is a Legacy Program of the Spitzer Space Telescope that imaged the 24 and 70 micron emission along the inner disk of the Milky Way (Carey et al. 2009). These mid-infrared bands are sensitive to the thermal emission radiated by interstellar dust grains that reside within a broad range of environments such as the envelopes of evolved stars, circumstellar disks and infalling envelopes surrounding young stellar objects, HII regions, supernova remnants, and the extended domains of dense, interstellar clouds. With its primary 24 micron band, MIPSGAL provides a critical wavelength measurement, which links the near infrared data from 2MASS and GLIMPSE to the far-infrared/submillimeter information for both point sources and diffuse emission.
The MIPSGAL 24 micron Archive contains the most complete list of MIPSGAL sources.
This dataset or service is made available by the Infrared Science Archive (IRSA) at IPAC, which is operated by the California Institute of Technology under contract with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
