How are we looking at infrared radiation? What is infrared radiation? Who are we? How do I get what I want out of this confounded website? What do these field numbers mean, physically?
This section of the website is designed to answer at least some of these questions, and probably some others. It is divided up into five pages, not including this one, which can be reached by following the links below, or those in the navigation bar above. If not all of your (relevant) questions can be answered in this section, you are encouraged to contact us. Contact informatoin can be found at the bottom of each page, as well as some additional information being available on the "About the Surveyors" page.
If you came to this page looking to get to the About the Data Products or About the Forms pages, both of which are closely related to the workings of this site's data query and delivery process and structure, you will find them in the Data portion of this website.
The why and how behind GPIPS. A summary of the project and its objectives, as well as an introduction targeted towards astrophysicists.
The planned course of the survey, the status of the survey, and some information about the actual nuts and bolts of how the survey is being taken are available on this page. Also listed here are publications from and about this project.
The primary purpose of this site is to deliver GPIPS-produced data to persons that might want to use it. This page gives information about what products are available, how they are delivered, and how they are formatted.
How to tell where in the website you are, how you get to where you want to go, and how to save the results of your data query, among other things.
Names and contact information, where available and appropriate, of the people working on the Survey. Maybe a short blurb, too? I don't know. How many people are on the project? Would a blurb be inappropriate? The people.bu.edu pages exist, as well as the bu.edu/dbin/astronomy/people.php page. I had planned to at least link to those pages.
This page briefly describes some of the Institutions responsible for and involved in bringing about the realization and (eventual) completion of this project.
