The IRAS Galaxy Atlas (IGA) is
a high resolution image atlas of the Galactic
plane at 60 and 100 microns, it has been
produced using the IRAS satellite
data. The HIRES program was
developed by the Infrared Processing and
Analysis Center (IPAC) to produce high
resolution (~ 1 arcmin) images from
IRAS data using the Maximum
Correlation Method (H.H. Aumann, J.W.
Fowler and M. Melnyk, 1990, Astronomical
Journal, 99, 1674).
Associated with the IGA Data Atlas are The
Extended IRAS Galaxy Atlas (EIGA) and Mid-Infrared Galaxy
Atlas (MIGA), which
are both servered from IPAC. Additional to the
image search, the IRAS point
source catalog is queried for this
location and resultant point source information
is presented visually and in tabular format
within the results page.
Also available are IGA image "cutouts" using IRSA's
Cutouts Service, which is a general tool to create single or multiple small FITS
(and JPEGs) image cutouts of datasets archived at IRSA.
IGA images are represented as overlays in
red on the
all-sky ISSA image
above. Either type in a coordinate or click on
any red region to get a close-up of the area;
the size of the search is adjustable.
