Images:
The 24 microns images were produced by subtracting a constant
background convolved with the residual pattern from the scan mirror
from the BCDs, and taking the median at all sky positions. Given that
data was obatined at three differents epochs, this ensures that the
asteroids are filtered out. An average image was also computed at the
time (not delivered), and its corresponding uncertainty is delivered
as well, as an indication of the uncertainty at each position. Both
images units are MJy/sr. The astrometric solution uses pixels of 1.2"
that are aligned to within 0.1% with the pixels of the optical COSMOS
datasets, with 1 MIPS 24 pixel corresponding to 6 optical grid pixels.
