TL;DR: The Galactic Legacy Infrared Mid-Plane Survey Extraordinaire (GLIMPSE), a Space Infrared Telescope Facility (SIRTF) Legacy Science Program, will be a fully sampled, confusion-limited infrared survey of the inner Galactic disk with a pixel resolution of ∼1 as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: In this paper, the extinction ratio between two of the filters, e.g., AJ/AK, is required to calculate A[λ]/AK from those measured ratios, which shows a flattening across the 3-8 μm wavelength range, roughly consistent with the extinction measurements derived by Lutz and coworkers for the sight line toward the Galactic center.

The Wavelength Dependence of Interstellar Extinction from 1.25 to 8.0 microns Using GLIMPSE Data
Remy Indebetouw,John S. Mathis,Brian Babler,Marilyn R. Meade,C. Watson,B. A. Whitney,M. J. Wolff,Mark Wolfire,T. M. Bania,Robert A. Benjamin,Dan P. Clemens,Martin Cohen,John M. Dickey,James M.

TL;DR: In this article, the extinction ratio between two filters, e.g. A(J)/A(K), is calculated from the color distributions of observed stars, and the mean values of the color excess ratios (A(λ)-A(k))/(A(J)-A (K)) are calculated from those measured ratios.

James M. Jackson,Jill Rathborne,Ronak Y. Shah,Robert Simon,Robert Simon,T. M. Bania,Dan P. Clemens,Edward Chambers,A. M. Johnson,M. Dormody,R. Lavoie,Mark H. Heyer +11 more
TL;DR: The Boston University-Five College Radio Astronomy Observatory Galactic Ring Survey is a new survey of Galactic 13CO J = 1 → 0 emission as mentioned in this paper. The survey used the SEQUOIA multipixel array on the Five College Radio Observatory 14 m telescope to cover a longitude range of l = 18°-557 and a latitude range of |b| 40°.
