GLIMPSE 360 Catalog

GLIMPSE360 is a Warm Mission Spitzer Cycle 6 Exploration Science Program (PIDs 60020, 61070, 61071, 61072, 61073, 70072) that mapped 187 degrees of longitude of the Galactic plane that have not been mapped by previous Spitzer Galactic Plane surveys (GLIMPSE, GLIMPSEII, GALCEN, GLIMPSE3D, Vela Carina, SMOG and Cygnus-X). The specific Galactic longitudes covered by GLIMPSE360 are l=65◦-76◦, 82◦-102◦, and 109◦-265◦. The latitude range is about 2.8◦. The latitude center follows the Galactic warp. GLIMPSE360 completes the full circle of the Galactic plane. The GLIMPSE360 Catalog (GLM360C, or the “Catalog”) consists of the highest reliability point sources. For each IRAC band the Catalog provides fluxes (with uncertainties), positions (with uncertainties), the areal density of local point sources, the local sky brightness, and a flag that provides information on source quality and known anomalies present in the data. This dataset or service is made available by the Infrared Science Archive (IRSA) at IPAC, which is operated by the California Institute of Technology under contract with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
