IGA Data Atlas
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.
Images are represented in
red as overlays on the
ISSA all-sky image above. Use the Quick Search
below to get data for an entire field, or 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.
