VizieR Online Data Catalog: MHO catalogue for Cassiopeia and Auriga (Froebrich+, 2016)

Our analysis uses data from the UKIRT Widefield Infrared Survey for H₂ by Froebrich et al. (2011MNRAS.413..480F) and its extension towards the Cygnus X and Cassiopeia/Auriga regions discussed in Froebrich et al. (2015, Cat. J/MNRAS/454/2586). All images are taken with the Wide Field Camera at the UK InfraRed Telescope. A total exposure time of 720s per pixel was obtained through the 1-0 S(1) filter at 2.122um. Utilizing micro-stepping during the observations, the final images have a pixel size of 0.2arcsec x 0.2arcsec and the typical seeing in the data is 0.8 arcsec. Averaged over this typical seeing, the typical 5σ surface brightness detection limit in the data is 4.1x10^-19W/m²/arcsec².

In this paper, we only analyse the data taken towards the region of Cassiopeia and Auriga.
