GLIMPSE I Archive
The Galactic Legacy Infrared Mid-Plane Survey Extraordinaire (GLIMPSEI), using the Spitzer Space Telescope Infrared Array Camera (IRAC) surveyed approximately 220 square degrees of the Galactic plane, covering a latitude range of ±1◦, and a longitude range of |l| =10◦−65◦, plus the Observation Strategy Validation (OSV) region at l=284◦. The observations consisted of two 1.2 second integrations at each position, for a total of over 77,000 pointings and ∼310,000 IRAC frames in 400 hours total survey time. The survey consists of a point source Catalog, a point source Archive, and mosaicked images.\n\nThe GLIMPSEI Archive (GLMIA or the “Archive”) consists of point sources with a signal- to-noise > 5 in at least one band and less stringent selection critera than the Catalog. The photometric uncertainty is typically < 0.3 mag. The GLIMPSEI Catalog is a subset of the Archive, but note that the entries for a particular source might not be the same due to additional nulling of magnitudes in the Catalog because of the more stringent requirements.
