Abstract
An atlas of the Galactic plane (-4.°7 < b < 4.°7), along with the molecular clouds in Orion, ? Oph, and Taurus-Auriga, has been produced at 60 and 100 ?m from IRAS data. The atlas consists of resolution-enhanced co-added images with 1'-2' resolution and co-added images at the native IRAS resolution. The IRAS Galaxy Atlas, together with the Dominion Radio Astrophysical Observatory H I line/21 cm continuum and FCRAO CO (1-0) Galactic plane surveys, which both have similar (~1') resolution to the IRAS atlas, provides a powerful tool for studying the interstellar medium, star formation, and large-scale structure in our Galaxy. This paper documents the production and characteristics of the atlas.
