Scientific paper

The Spatial Infrared Imaging Telescope (SPIRIT III) radiometer onboard the Midcourse Space Experiment (MSX) observed the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) in six data collection events covering a 10 degree by 10 degree area on the sky. We have co-added all 6 of the events into a single series of images (the MSX LMC Plates) for four of the SPIRIT III radiometer bands. The bands span the wavelength ranges 6.8 - 10.9, 11.1 - 13.2, 13.5 - 15.9,and 18.2 - 25.1 microns. The LMC Plates preserve the 18" resolution of the SPIRIT III radiometers, and are sampled every 9". We have also extracted point sources from the scan data, using redundant scans to confirm sources and increase the catalog reliability. A statistical analysis of the source catalog will be presented.
