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: Galactic Legacy Infrared Mid-Plane Survey Extraordinaire (GLIMPSE) as discussed by the authors is a collection of images collected by the SIRTF Legacy Science Program with a pixel resolution of 1.2" using the Infrared Array Camera (IRAC).
Journal ArticleDOI
The Spitzer/GLIMPSE Surveys: A New View of the Milky Way
Ed Churchwell,Brian Babler,Marilyn R. Meade,Barbara A. Whitney,Robert A. Benjamin,Remy Indebetouw,Claudia Cyganowski,Thomas P. Robitaille,Matthew S. Povich,Christer Watson,S. Bracker +10 more
TL;DR: More than 70 refereed papers have been published based on GLIMPSE data as of 2008 November as mentioned in this paper, and some serendipitous discoveries have been made on evolved stars.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Wavelength Dependence of Interstellar Extinction from 1.25 to 8.0 μm Using GLIMPSE Data
Remy Indebetouw,Remy Indebetouw,John S. Mathis,Brian Babler,Marilyn R. Meade,Christer Watson,Barbara A. Whitney,M. J. Wolff,Mark G. Wolfire,Martin Cohen,T. M. Bania,Robert A. Benjamin,Dan P.

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.
