Abstract:
A mid-infrared atlas of part of the Galactic plane
(75°<l<148°, b=±6°) has been constructed using HIRES
processed infrared data to provide a mid-infrared data set for the
Canadian Galactic Plane Survey (CGPS). The addition of this data set
to the CGPS will enable the study of the emission from the smallest
components of interstellar dust at an angular resolution comparable to
that of the radio, millimeter, and far-infrared data in the CGPS. The
Mid-Infrared Galaxy Atlas (MIGA) is a mid-infrared (12 and 25um)
counterpart to the far-infrared IRAS Galaxy Atlas (IGA), and consists
of resolution enhanced (∼0.5' resolution) HIRES images along with
ancillary maps. This paper describes the processing and
characteristics of the atlas, the cross-band simulation technique used
to obtain high-resolution ratio maps, and future plans to extend both
the IGA and MIGA.
