Herschel PACS Point Source Catalog (PPSC) Overview

Overview

To maximise the science return of the PACS data sets, a homogeneous Herschel/PACS Point Source Catalogue (HPPSC) was constructed from all the scan map observations. The catalogue enables a systematic and unbiased comparison of sensitivity across different Herschel fields that single programs will generally not be able to provide.

If you use PPSC, please cite both PPSC Explanatory Supplement and the dataset Digital Object Identifier (DOI) for: 70 um (10.26131/IRSA573), 100 um (10.26131/IRSA574), 160 um (10.26131/IRSA575), extended sources (10.26131/IRSA576), observations (10.26131/IRSA577), or rejects (10.26131/IRSA578).
