[ASA] HEAT Data Release 1: [CI] maps of the Galactic Plane at 809 GHz

[Michael Ashley]

Dear colleagues,

The PLATO-R/HEAT collaboration is pleased to announce the availability of Data Release 1 (DR1):

         http://soral.as.arizona.edu/HEAT/data/

The data are in the form of FITS cubes (Galactic longitude, latitude, and velocity) showing atomic carbon [CI] emission at 809 GHz, as observed by the HEAT telescope at Ridge A in Antarctica.  More details are at the website above.

This work is the result of a US-Australia collaboration, funded on the Australian side by Astronomy Australia Limited and UNSW, and on the US side by the NSF and University of Arizona.

For real-time updates on HEAT's 3rd year of operation, see the following website:
