A collection of data that describe the 3D content of our Milky Way Galaxy. In 2022, the URL milkyway3d.org. will point not directly to this Dataverse, but instead to an interactive tool showing survey coverage in a 3D Milky Way. Please stay tuned!

Bar And Spiral Structure Legacy (BeSSeL) Survey Dataverse(Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics)
Sep 25, 2016
The BeSSeL Survey is a Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA) key science project whose goal is to study the kinematics and spiral structure of the Milky Way Galaxy. They do this by measuring the trigonometric parallaxes and proper motions of masers associated with high-mass star forming regions throughout the Galaxy. The main maser emission lines include...
Sep 5, 2016 - The Galactic Legacy Infrared Mid-Plane Survey Extraordinaire (GLIMPSE) Dataverse
Ed Churchwell, 2016, "GLIMPSE Extended Observations: Continuum (2D)", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/YOYSVK, Harvard Dataverse, V1
This dataset consists of photometric maps at four wavelengths (3.6, 4.5, 5.8, and 8.0 μm). The majority of the galactic plane is covered in all four bands, while a portion of the outer galaxy is only covered by the 3.6 and 4.5 micron bands. The data can be queried through a cutout service on the IRSA data archive here. Alternatively, individual 3x2...

Sep 5, 2016
The Galactic Legacy Infrared Mid-Plane Survey Extraordinaire (GLIMPSE) is composed of several individual surveys and together they provide almost complete longitudinal coverage of the Galactic plane at |b| <= 1.0°. Most of the plane is imaged at a spatial resolution of <2” at wavelengths of 3.6, 4.5, 5.8, and 8.0 μm; however, certain longitudes in...
Sep 5, 2016 - UKIRT Infrared Deep Sky Galactic Plane Survey (UKIDSS-GPS) Dataverse
Phil Lucas, 2016, "UKIDSS-GPS Extended Observations: Continuum (2D)", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/G43KCK, Harvard Dataverse, V1
This dataset consists of near-infrared photometric maps (J, H, and K bands) in a wide strip covering all the first quadrant and sections of both the second and third quadrants. As of Summer 2016, the most recent publicly available data release is UKIDSS DR10, with more data to become available in future. The cutout service includes the option to ex...

UKIRT Infrared Deep Sky Galactic Plane Survey (UKIDSS-GPS) Dataverse(Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics)
Sep 5, 2016
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...
Sep 5, 2016 - Galactic Plane Infrared Polarization Survey (GPIPS) Dataverse
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.
