The Southern H-Alpha Sky Survey Atlas: Continuum
Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)
The Southern H-Alpha Sky Survey Atlas is the product of a wide-angle digital imaging survey of the H-alpha emission from the warm ionized interstellar gas of our Galaxy.
Description
This atlas covers the southern hemisphere sky (declinations less than +15 degrees). The observations were taken with a robotic camera operating at Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory (CTIO) in Chile.
The atlas consists of 2168 images covering 542 fields. There are four images available for each field: <b>H-alpha</b>, <b>Continuum</b>, <b>Continuum-Corrected</b> (the difference of the H-alpha and Continuum images), and <b>Smoothed</b> (median filtered to 5 pixel, or 4.0 arcminute, resolution to remove star residuals better). The <a href="amundsen.swarthmore.edu/SHASSA">SHASSA website</a> has more details of the data and the status of this and related projects.

McCullough (University of Illinois), Wayne Rosing (Las Cumbres Observatory), and Dave Van Buren (Extrasolar Research Corporation). This is a service of NASA HEASARC.
