A 24Μm Point Source Catalog Of The Galactic Plane From Spitzer/Mipsgal, R. A. Gutermuth, Mark Heyer
A 24Μm Point Source Catalog Of The Galactic Plane From Spitzer/Mipsgal, R. A. Gutermuth, Mark Heyer
Robert A. Gutermuth
In this contribution, we describe the applied methods to construct a 24 μm based point source catalog derived from the image data of the MIPSGAL 24 μm Galactic Plane Survey and the corresponding data products. The high quality catalog product contains 933,818 sources, with a total of 1,353,228 in the full archive catalog. The source tables include positional and photometric information derived from the 24 μm images, source quality and confusion flags, and counterpart photometry from matched 2MASS, GLIMPSE, and WISE point sources. Completeness decay data cubes are constructed at 1' angular resolution that describe the varying background levels over …
