The UKIRT Infrared Deep Sky Galactic Plane Survey (UKIDSS-GPS) is a near infrared survey which will map over 1800 square degrees of the Galactic plane in J,H,K bands (1-3 μm) to a depth of 19 magnitudes. It is a successor to the 2MASS survey, probing 3 magnitudes deeper. The GPS plans to map half the plane over the following regions: 141° < l < 230... |
Dan Clemens, 2016, "GPIPS Extended Observations: Polarimetry (2D)", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/QYVXUP, Harvard Dataverse, V1
This dataset consists of 76 sq. deg. of H-band (1.6 μm) linear polarimetry observations, which are able to reveal the plane-of-the-sky magnetic field orientations. Data products include 3237 overlapping 10 × 10 arcmin fields, which are downloadable in 1.7 GB zip files here. |

The Galactic Plane Infrared Polarization Survey (GPIPS) covers 76 sq. deg in the Galactic midplane between 18° <= l <= 56° and -1° <= b <= +1°. It uses H-band (1.6 microns) linear polarimetry to determine magnetic field orientations in the plane of the sky near dense molecular clouds. The full GPIPS data set will contain almost 6 million stars, wit... |
Edward Wright, 2016, "WISE Extended Observations: Continuum (2D)", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/HXAXM6, Harvard Dataverse, V1
This dataset consists of mid-infrared photometric data in four bands (3.4, 4.6, 12, and 22 µm) over the entire sky. The ALLWISE image atlas contains 18,000+ four band calibrated 1.5x1.5 degree fits files, in addition to depth-of-coverage and noise maps. These atlas images were created by coadding almost 8 million single-exposure images. Individual... |

The Wide-Field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) maps the entire sky at mid-infrared wavelengths--3.4, 4.6, 12, and 22 microns—corresponding to an angular resolution of 6.1, 6.4, 6.5, and 12”. WISE achieves a 5σ point source sensitivity of better than 0.08, 0.11, 1, and 6 mJy for bands 1-4, which corresponds to Vega magnitudes of 16.5, 15.5, 11.2, an... |
Sean Carey, 2016, "MIPSGAL Extended Observations: Continuum (2D)", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/BO5LL4, Harvard Dataverse, V1
This dataset consists of 24 & 70 micron maps covering latitudes -1° < b < +1° and longitudes l < 69° and l > 292°. Images are available for download via either an image cutout service (here) or by downloading the tiles directly at a specified data download link (here). In addition to the calibrated data, data products available include standard dev... |

The MIPSGAL survey covers 278 sq. deg of the inner Galactic Plane at 24 μm (6” resolution) and 70 μm (18” resolution). It is meant to act as a longer wavelength component to the Spitzer-GLIMPSE Survey of the Galactic plane. Its two main science goals are to 1) identify high mass protostars and 2) probe properties of interstellar dust in the inner g... |
Sergio Molinari, 2016, "Hi-GAL Extended Observations: Continuum (2D)", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/AGXXHR, Harvard Dataverse, V1
This dataset consists of photometric maps at five wavelengths: 70, 160, 250, 350 and 500μm, which combined cover the peak of the SED for dust temperatures between 8 ≤ T ≤ 50K. The first suite of Hi-GAL data was released in Spring 2016, covering 68°≥ l ≥ -70° and |b| ≤ 1°, with more data to come in future. The public Hi-GAL DR1 data can be retrieved... |

The Herschel Infrared Galactic plane survey (Hi-GAL) is an unbiased photometric survey covering |b| <= 1.0°, 68 > l > -70° in five passbands between 70 and 500 μm. The nominal beam sizes range from 5-35". Its key science goals include understanding the distribution of the ISM temperature, the formation of molecular clouds, the timeline of high-mass... |
Sep 5, 2016 - James Clerk Maxwell Telescope Plane Survey (JPS) Dataverse
Toby Moore, 2016, "JPS Extended Observations: Continuum (2D)", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/UFLEHY, Harvard Dataverse, V1
This dataset consists of extended 850 micron continuum observations taken by the SCUBA-2 instrument on the James Clerk Maxwell telescope. Future planned JCMT observations will also include 450um data. As of summer 2016, none of the Galactic plane data has been made public yet, but Moore et al. 2015 state that a public data release will accompany a... |
