Bolocam Galactic Plane Survey
Millimeter continuum survey of the northern galactic plane.
Last updated
The Bolocam Galactic Plane Survey mapped 170 square degrees of the northern Milky Way in millimeter light between June 2005 and September 2007, making it the first systematic, uniform survey of this kind. It found 8400 sources, with a non-uniform 1-sigma noise floor between 30 and 60 mJy/beam. Extra observations from 2009 were released in 2013. All data is hosted by IPAC.
