Note : this is the description file of the original catalog.
This HTML page corresponds well to the original description, but some minor
changes in the format may have been introduced in the FITS output
files in order to allow for arithmetic operations on quantities
such as coordinates and times. h:m:s and d:m:s units are normally
converted into degrees, and YYYY-MM-DD into julian days.
Similarly, some slight changes may have been introduced in the
units; the value given in the HTML files supersedes the value indicated in the ReadMe
file for this catalogue.

Description:
The Galactic Legacy Infrared Midplane Survey Extraordinaire (GLIMPSE),
is a survey of Galactic Plane central parts made with the Infrared
Array Camera (IRAC) aboard the Spitzer Space Telescope (SST). It
covers approximately 220 square degrees, between galactic longitudes
±65° and ±1° in galactic latitude (up to 4.2° in the
central parts). The four IRAC bands are centered at approximately
3.6, 4.5, 5.8 and 8.0µm.
The GLIMPSE combines the 3 surveys:
* GLIMPSE-I covers the longitude ranges |l|=10--65° and the
latitude range |b|<=1° (Benjamin et al. 2003PASP..115..953B)
* GLIMPSE-II covers the longitude range of |l|<=10°, and a
latitude range |b|<=1° from |l|=5--10, |b|<=1.5 for |l|=2--5,
and |b|<=2° for |l|<=2. GLIMPSE-II coverage excludes the
Galactic center region |l|<=1, |b|<=0.75 observed by the GALCEN
GO program (PID=3677).
* GLIMPSE-3D adds vertical extensions up to |b|=4.2° near the
galactic center, and up to |b|=3° in selected other parts
of the Galaxy (±10, 18.5, 25, 30, and -15 (345)°).
GLIMPSE-II had two-epoch coverage for a total of three visits on the
sky. The observations consisted of two 1.2 second integrations at each
position in the first epoch of data taking (September 2005) and a
single 1.2 second integration at each position six months later
(April 2006).
The highly reliable v2.0 GLIMPSEII Catalog (v2.0_GLMIIC) consists of
point sources that are detected at least twice in one band and at
least once in an adjacent band and a S/N > 5 cut for the band with the
two detections. There are also faint and bright flux limits on the
Catalog entries. The more complete v2.0 Archive (v2.0_GLMIIA) has less
stringent criteria, namely two detections in any bands, those
detections having a S/N > 5. The IRAC data were bandmerged with the
2MASS All-Sky Point Source Catalog. See the GLIMPSEII v2.0 Data
Products & Data Delivery document for more details.
The catalog available from CDS merges the 3 surveys GLIMPSE-I (v2.0),
GLIMPSE-II (v2.0), and GLIMPSE-3D; Catalog and Archive records are
also merged here. In the regions of overlap between the 3 surveys
(e.g. longitude around 10°) preference was given to
(1) GLIMPSE-II, as recommended in the GLIMPSE documents of May 2007
(glimpse1_v2.0.pdf) and April 2008 (glimpse2-v2.0.pdf);
(2) GLIMPSE-I, and (3) GLIMPSE-3D sources. Sources from different
surveys were merged if their position is closer than 0.1arcsec.

Note (1): The close source flag is set if there are Archive sources that
are within 3arcsec of the source:
0 = no Archive source within 3.0" of source
1 = Archive sources between 2.5" and 3.0" of source
2 = Archive sources between 2.0" and 2.5" of source
3 = Archive sources between 1.5" and 2.0" of source
4 = Archive sources between 1.0" and 1.5" of source
5 = Archive sources between 0.5" and 1.0" of source
6 = Archive sources within 0.5" of source
Note (2): deviation of individual detections from final flux
(large values may imply variability)
Note (3): the quality flag, written here in hexadecimal, describes
peculiarities which, if existing, contribute to 2b to the
quality flag: for instance, the value '2400' (9216 in decimal,
which is 210+213) means:
* DAOPHOT tweak negative (210)
* confusion in cross-band merge (213)

(a) Due to the short exposure time and high sky backgrounds in the
GLIMPSEII fields, we have not seen evidence for latent sources
in the images, even though they are flagged via an automatic
algorithm in SSC's processing.
(*) the 2MASS quality is stored here on 3 bits, with
A (best): all three flags set to 1 (.1c..... in hexa)
B (2nd) : bit pattern 110 (.18..... in hexa)
C (3rd) : bit pattern 101 (.14..... in hexa)

Note (4): the method flag, written here in hexadecimal, describes
the combination of the existence and usage of the frames:
0 = Frame 0.6s present
1 = Frame 0.6s present and used
2 = Frame 1.2s present
3 = Frame 1.2s used for flux calculation
4 = Frame 2s present

8 = Frame 30s present

11 = Frame 100s used for flux calculation
Nomenclature Notes:
It is recommended to use the GPSC for the sources of GLIMPSE Catalog
(at least 2 detections with S/N>=5), and GPSA (Archive) for those not
meeting these criteria.
Objects in SIMBAD are <SSTGLMC GLLL.llll+BB.bbbb> (for catalog sources;
"C" in column C (S/N>5)) or <SSTGLMA GLLL.llll+BB.bbbb> (for archive sources;
"A" in column C).
Access via cdsclient:
GLIMPSE is available in command line mode as "findglimpse" in the
"cdsclient" package (http://cdsarc.u-strasbg.fr/doc/cdsclient.htx)
