Scientific paper

We propose a 72 square degree survey of the innermost Galactic disk (|l| < 10, up to |b| < 3) at 24 and 70 microns with MIPS. These observations will connect the two fields observed by MIPSGAL and are complementary to the GLIMPSE II and proposed GLIMPSE 3D surveys. This data will finish the census of massive star formation inside the molecular ring, provide detailed information on the distribution and energetics of small dust grains toward the nucleus of our Galaxy, and identify all massive evolved stars in the surveyed portion of the Galactic bulge. The data will be processed with the MIPSGAL pipeline which significantly reduces artifacts caused by the bright backgrounds and sources in the Galactic plane. As a legacy program, we are waiving the proprietary rights to the data and plan to distribute enhanced data products such as image mosaics and source catalogs.
