The Balloon-borne Large Aperture Submillimeter
Telescope (BLAST) includes four large
fields. The allsky
map on the BLAST front page shows
'footprints' of the data currently available
through Atlas. The names of the
the large fields are next to each footprint as a
visual aid.
The 'Quick Search' option allows you to
click on a field name to execute a search for
the BLAST data available for that entire
field. The search is setup with default 'Size'
and 'Source Radius' parameters set to 7.1 deg.
Each field has a center position which is
listed in the table below.
In using the 'Quick Search' option, the
Atlas BLAST search form is ignored. If you are
interested in any of the fields and would like
to use your own 'Size' criteria for the seach,
you can use the coordinates listed below to
fill out the seach form on the Atlas BLAST data search page.
