SOFIA FORCAST Galactic Center Source Catalog
Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)
The SOFIA FORCAST Galactic Center Source Catalog is a catalog of sources at 25 and 37 um located within all of the regions observed with the SOFIA/FORCAST instrument in the inner ~200 pc of the Galaxy.
Description
The majority of the observations were obtained as part of the SOFIA Cycle 7 Galactic Center Legacy program survey, which was designed to complement the Spitzer/MIPS 24 um catalog in regions saturated in the MIPS observations.
Due to the wide variety of source types captured by the observations at 25 and 37 um, the FORCAST source catalog is not limited to unresolved point sources, nor does it treat all sources as if they are point-like sources. The catalog includes all detectable sources in the regions, resulting in a catalog of 950 sources, including point sources, compact sources, and extended sources.
