VNGS data

From this page, you can download the SPIRE and PACS maps published by the Very Nearby Galaxy Survey (VNGS). You can download each file individually or you can get a single tar.gz archive for each instrument.

Please also read the SPIRE release readme and the PACS release readme.

Individual files

For each target, you can download one multi-dimension FITS file per SPIRE (250 µm, 350 µm and 500 µm) and PACS (70 µm and 160 µm – plus 100 µm for NGC4038) band containing the scientific image map, the error map and the coverage map.

Additional Notes - two sets of SPIRE maps are provided for Cen A, M 81 and M 82 (see the Notes column):

  • M 81 and M 82 were SDP targets and so we provide both maps made with larger pixels that were used for the SDP publications (Bendo et al. 2010, Roussell et al. 2010) as well as the standard maps.
  • Cen A has a variable central source and so was observed a second time with the SPIRE photometer at the same time as the SPIRE spectrometer observation. The second observation is shallower and smaller.

Note on composite images: You can click on the thumbnails to get a larger view of the composite images. You can then save the composite with a right-click and "Save as..".
