Introduction

The webpage presents gamma-ray data (mostly images and catalog) as well as other multi-wavelength data that is useful to investigate and understand the gamma-ray data.

What the site contains at the moment is just a starting point. If you have an idea for data we should add, please contact us, or even collaborate and add it with us!

Currently, gamma-sky.net contains the following image and catalog data:

Images

Survey images are prepared in HIPS format. CDS is providing 300+ survey images in HIPS format.

The main image we display at the moment is a Fermi-LAT color image:

  • Best pixel size of 0.014 deg
  • RGB in energy bands R=0.3-1GeV, G=1-3GeV, B=3-300GeV

In the toolbox drop down labeled "Base image layer", we currently display these additional surveys:

Catalogs

Fermi-LAT

SNRcat

  • SNRcat catalog (accessed 2015-02-08)

TeV source catalog

At the moment the TeV source catalog we show it the TeGeV Catalogue @ ASDC (v2, July 2015) (http://www.asdc.asi.it/tgevcat/), processed using the script [here]https://github.com/gammapy/gammapy-extra/blob/master/datasets/catalogs/make_tegev.py).

We're not using TeVCat (http://tevcat.uchicago.edu/) because it's not openly available for download and we want all data shown on gamma-sky.net to be openly available.

Yet another TeV catalog: http://www.ritsumei.ac.jp/~morim/TeV-catalog/index.html

We're considering making a new open TeV catalog, seeding it with the ASDC catalog and another catalog we've been assembling for the HESS Galactic plane survey. If you're interested in this or have questions or comments, let us know at https://github.com/gammapy/gamma-sky/issues/33 or via email.
