UKIDSS-DR6 Galactic Plane Survey

Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)

The UKIDSS Galactic Plane Survey (GPS) is one of the five near infrared Public Legacy Surveys that are being undertaken by the UKIDSS consortium, using the Wide Field Camera on the United Kingdom Infrared Telescope.

Description

It is surveying 1868 deg^2^ of the northern and equatorial Galactic plane at Galactic latitudes -5{deg}<b<5{deg} in the J, H and K filters and a ~300 deg^2^ area of the Taurus-Auriga-Perseus molecular cloud complex in these three filters and the 2.12{mu}m (1-0)S(1)H_2_ filter.

It will provide data on ~ 3x10^9^ sources. The survey use the Wide Field Camera (WFCAM, see Casali et al. 2007A&A...467..777C) on the United Kingdom Infrared Telescope (UKIRT). The typical 90% completeness limits in uncrowded fields are K=18.0, H=18.75, J=19.5, with uncertainties of about 0.2mag.
