Abstract

A mid-infrared atlas of the Galactic Plane (MIGA) has been constructed to provide a mid-infrared data set for the Canadian Galactic Plane Survey, an international project to map all of the major components of the interstellar medium of the Milky Way at a common resolution of approximately 1'. The atlas is based on HIRES processing of IRAS 12 and 25 micron data. Details of the MIGA production and applications of the atlas are discussed and illustrated.
