Summary of Data Sets in IRSA Viewer
IRSA Viewer does not necessarily provide all data products from a project; it returns the most centered science image it can find. Follow the 'Website for more information' link if you need all data products (for example uncertainty maps, coverage maps, alternate mosaic algorithms, models, PSFs, etc.) instead of just a single image.
