Galactic Plane Infrared Polarization Survey (GPIPS)

The Galactic Plane Infrared Polarization Survey (GPIPS) covers 76 deg^2 of the first Galactic quadrant midplane, 18 ≤ l ≤ 56 deg and -1 ≤ b ≤ +1 deg, in H-band (1.6 micron) linear polarimetry to reveal the plane-of-the-sky orientation of the magnetic field in diffuse and denser atomic and molecular clouds. The Survey consists of 3237 overlapping 10x10 arcmin fields observed using the Mimir instrument on the 1.8 m Perkins telescope.

This dataset or service is made available by the Infrared Science Archive (IRSA) at IPAC, which is operated by the California Institute of Technology under contract with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
