Working with L1688

There are a LOT of things on this Wiki, very few of which are arranged linearly. The Wiki is a web, after all, so there are links interwoven all over the place. However, we do realize that this can be frustrating for new users, so here is a single analysis chain, start to finish, with the products already done so that you can step into and out of the process as you want or need.

Download the tarball with all my reduced images and data tables here.

Downloading the data

Go here and follow the tutorial to investigate what observations exist and download the data. Search on L1688. Find the AORs, download the IRAC and MIPS mosaics. The data I'm using for this example are all from pid 177, but you should investigate the coverage of the other programs too.

It turns out, though, that L1688 is part of the c2d Legacy program (pid 177 is part of that), so you may also wish to consult the page on already-reduced Spitzer data.

Making the mosaics

Go here and follow the tutorial to make the mosaics from the post-BCD pieces you have downloaded.

Mosaics from all 4 IRAC channels and 2 of the 3 MIPS channels are included in the tarball above if you wish to short-cut this process.

Getting images at other wavelengths

Go here and follow the tutorial to find data (images and data tables) at other wavelengths. Think about the questions at the end of that page as they pertains to these data.

A POSS image is included in the tarball above if you wish to short-cut this process. Reduced photometry from 2MASS is included in the data tables as well.

Investigating the mosaics

Go here and follow the tutorial (or use your own software) to explore the Spitzer mosaics as well as the mosaics at other wavelengths. Think about the questions at the end of that page as they pertains to these data.
