Title

Herschel PACS Point Source Catalog: Extended Source List

Description

To maximize the science return of the PACS data sets, a homogeneous Herschel/PACS Point Source Catalogue (HPPSC) was constructed from all the scan map observations. The catalogue enables a systematic and unbiased comparison of sensitivity across different Herschel fields that single programs will generally not be able to provide.

The Herschel/PACS Extended Source List (HPESL) contains slightly extended objects, extracted from database source table. Quality criteria are similar to those for point sources, with two exceptions. No condition was imposed about ratio of flux values measured in different apertures, and FWHM of extended source must satisfy: 2*PSF < FWHM < 5*PSF. For more information, see the Explanatory Supplement.

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.
