The High-resolution Iras Galaxy Atlas
نویسندگان
چکیده
An atlas of the Galactic plane along with the molecular clouds in Orion, o Oph, ([4¡.7 \ b \ 4¡.7), and Taurus-Auriga, has been produced at 60 and 100 km from IRAS data. The atlas consists of resolution-enhanced co-added images with 1@È2@ resolution and co-added images at the native IRAS resolution. The IRAS Galaxy Atlas, together with the Dominion Radio Astrophysical Observatory H I line/21 cm continuum and FCRAO CO (1È0) Galactic plane surveys, which both have similar (D1@) resolution to the IRAS atlas, provides a powerful tool for studying the interstellar medium, star formation, and large-scale structure in our Galaxy. This paper documents the production and characteristics of the atlas. Subject headings : atlases È Galaxy : structure È infrared : ISM: continuum È radio lines : ISM

متن کاملA Mid-Infrared Galaxy Atlas (MIGA)
A mid-infrared atlas of part of the Galactic plane (75◦ < l < 148◦, b = ±6◦) has been constructed using HIRES processed infrared data to provide a mid-infrared data set for the Canadian Galactic Plane Survey (CGPS). The addition of this data set to the CGPS will enable the study of the emission from the smallest components of interstellar dust at an angular resolution comparable to that of the ...

The importance of far-infrared observations in our understanding of extreme activity in interacting and merging galaxies has been illustrated by many studies. Even though two decades have passed since its launch, the most complete all-sky survey to date from which far-infrared selected galaxy samples can be chosen is still that of the Infrared Astronomical Satellite (IRAS). However, the spatial...
