HERITAGE Band-Matched Catalog Definitions
Overview
The HERschel Inventory of The Agents of Galaxy Evolution (HERITAGE) open time key program mapped the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) and Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) at 100, 160, 250, 350, and 500 microns using Herschel's PACS and SPIRE instruments. The overriding science goal of HERITAGE is to study the life cycle of matter as traced by dust in the LMC and SMC.
To identify astronomical objects that are detected in multiple HERITAGE images, Seale et al. (2015) positionally cross-matched each
galaxy's five HERITAGE catalogs (P100, P160, S250, S350, and S500) with each other. They adopt a matching distance of
0.7 FWHM_max (which contains ~99% of inter-band matches within 2 FWHM_max), where FWHM_max is the largest of the two matching catalogs
FWHMs.
If you use the HERITAGE Band-Matched Catalogs, please cite Seale et al. (2014).
