Scientific paper

The Spitzer mid-infrared (MIR) surveys, Galactic Legacy Infrared Mid-Plane Survey Extraordinaire (GLIMPSE) and MIPSGAL have revealed a new view of the disk of the Milky Way. Hallmarks of the Galactic disk at MIR wavelengths with spatial resolution <2″ are bubbles/HII regions, infrared dark clouds, young stellar objects (YSOs)/star formation regions, diffuse dust and extended polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), and more than 100 million publically available archived stars with measured flux densities at 7 wavelengths and positions accurate to 0.1″. At mid-IR wavelengths, the cool components in the Galaxy are preferentially bright and highlight physical processes that are not obvious at other wavelength regimes.
