Description:
The Galactic Legacy Infrared Midplane Survey Extraordinaire (GLIMPSE),
is a survey of Galactic Plane central parts made with the Infrared
Array Camera (IRAC) aboard the Spitzer Space Telescope (SST). It
covers approximately 220 square degrees, between galactic longitudes
+/-65deg and +/-1deg in galactic latitude (up to 4.2deg in the
central parts). The four IRAC bands are centered at approximately
3.6, 4.5, 5.8 and 8.0mum.
The GLIMPSE combines the 3 surveys:
* GLIMPSE-I covers the longitude ranges |l|=10--65deg and the
latitude range |b|<=1deg (Benjamin et al. 2003PASP..115..953B)
* GLIMPSE-II covers the longitude range of |l|<=10deg, and a
latitude range |b|<=1deg from |l|=5--10, |b|<=1.5 for |l|=2--5,
and |b|<=2deg for |l|<=2. GLIMPSE-II coverage excludes the
Galactic center region |l|<=1, |b|<=0.75 observed by the GALCEN
GO program (PID=3677).
* GLIMPSE-3D adds vertical extensions up to |b|=4.2deg near the
galactic center, and up to |b|=3deg in selected other parts
of the Galaxy (+/-10, 18.5, 25, 30, and -15 (345)deg).
GLIMPSE-II had two-epoch coverage for a total of three visits on the
sky. The observations consisted of two 1.2 second integrations at each
position in the first epoch of data taking (September 2005) and a
single 1.2 second integration at each position six months later
(April 2006).
The highly reliable v2.0 GLIMPSEII Catalog (v2.0_GLMIIC) consists of
point sources that are detected at least twice in one band and at
least once in an adjacent band and a S/N > 5 cut for the band with the
two detections. There are also faint and bright flux limits on the
Catalog entries. The more complete v2.0 Archive (v2.0_GLMIIA) has less
stringent criteria, namely two detections in any bands, those
detections having a S/N > 5. The IRAC data were bandmerged with the
2MASS All-Sky Point Source Catalog. See the GLIMPSEII v2.0 Data
Products & Data Delivery document for more details.
The catalog available from CDS merges the 3 surveys GLIMPSE-I (v2.0),
GLIMPSE-II (v2.0), and GLIMPSE-3D; Catalog and Archive records are
also merged here. In the regions of overlap between the 3 surveys
(e.g. longitude around 10deg) preference was given to
(1) GLIMPSE-II, as recommended in the GLIMPSE documents of May 2007
(glimpse1_v2.0.pdf) and April 2008 (glimpse2-v2.0.pdf);
(2) GLIMPSE-I, and (3) GLIMPSE-3D sources. Sources from different
surveys were merged if their position is closer than 0.1arcsec.
