Spitzer Local Volume Legacy Survey (LVL)
LVL consists of a sample of 258 galaxies, which are being mapped with both IRAC (4 bands) and MIPS (3 bands). In addition, ancillary data products consisting of images in the narrow-band H-alpha line emission and broad-band R (from the ground) and the UV continuum (2 bands) from GALEX are also available for some of the galaxies. The full set of available H-alpha and UV imaging will be delivered in a later delivery.
IRSA currently hosts deliveries DR1, DR2 and DR3 from the LVL project, comprised of observations for 167 galaxies (see summary pages of observations for each galaxy).
You can get a close-up map of a region by clicking on any of the red overlays on the above image, or by typing a coordinate below.
The 167 available LVL galaxies are represented as overlays in red on the SDSS 3-color image above. Use the form below to enter a coordinate or object name to search for data, or click on any red region to get a close-up of the area; or click on the any of the LVL galaxy names for a summary page of each object. Summary pages are created by IRSA to aid with data layout and visualization; these pages contain previews and links to all files provided by LVL for that object.
