IRAS pointed observations data processing.
Abstract
We have developed a system to process raw IRAS Pointed Observation (PO) data, using software developed at the Laboratory for Space Research, Groningen, The Netherlands. Several PO's can be coadded into one image. As an example we processed 99 PO's in the Chamaeleon I molecular cloud into one image for every IRAS band. The list of extracted point sources contains some 300 new IRAS sources, down to a flux level of 21 mJy at 12 microns.
