GLIMPSE Galactic Legacy Infrared Mid-Plane Survey Extraordinaire A Spitzer Legacy Science Program

Complementary Datasets for GLIMPSE

• 2MASS Two Micron All-Sky Survey
  
  
• MSX Midcourse Space Experiment (observed the Galactic plane in several mid-IR wavebands, from 4.2 to 26 microns with 18 arcsec resolution at 8 microns)
  
  
• Surveys of Ultracompact H II Regions (Arecibo, GBT, ATNF)
  Resolution of Distance Ambiguities of Inner Galaxy Massive Star Formation Regions II. Watson, Araya, Sewilo, Churchwell, Hofner, and Kurtz 2003, ApJ, 587, 914. [pdf file].
  
  
• Milky Way Galactic Ring Survey (GRS), a Boston University and Five College Radio Astronomy collaboration, is a large- scale molecular line survey of the Inner Galaxy between longitudes 18 and 52 deg.
  
  
• International Galactic Plane Survey (IGPS), a collaboration of radio astronomers in the US, Canada, and Australia, will map the Milky Way disk at 21-cm wavelength.
  
  
• Coordinated Radio and Infrared Survey for High-Mass Star Formation (CORNISH), a 6 cm VLA survey of the GLIMPSE survey area, is underway. CORNISH will cover the longitude range l= -20 to 66 deg, b < |1| deg.
