MIPSGAL is a Galactic plane survey using MIPS onboard Spitzer space telescope. This survey covers 278 square degrees of inner Galactic plane in 24 and 70 μm. In this poster, we report the availability of the 24 μm point source catalog. We describe the automated method used to extract flux and astrometry of the point sources observed in the 24 μm MIPSGAL mosaics. We outline the data validation methods and quality assurance tests that we employed to test our source extraction pipeline. We have band-merged our data with those of 2MASS and GLIMPSE. The final point source catalog can be accessed from the IRSA or the Spitzer archives.
We detect over 3 million sources in the 24 μm MIPSGAL survey. The 24 μm fluxes and astrometry for these point sources are the highest quality data available at present. We can reliably extract point sources down to 3 mJy with 3 σ rms. Additional data validation results and quality assurance tests will be described in the poster.
This work is based on observations made with the Spitzer Space Telescope, which is operated by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), California Institute of Technology under a contract with NASA. Support for this work was provided by NASA in part through an award issued by JPL/Caltech.
