Data access through your web browser

VGPS HI spectral line cubes can be downloaded from the Canadian Astronomy Data Centre (CADC). VGPS data at the CADC website.

VGPS continuum images

4 Feb 2009: added missing projection information to fits header of continuum images. All images are CAR projection.
The VGPS continuum mosaics can be downloaded by using the "Save Link As" feature of your web browser on the links below.
Some of these images contain areas not covered with the VLA. These can be recognized by the lack of small-scale structure.
VGPS continuum mosaic (FITS) centered at longitude 17^o
VGPS continuum mosaic (FITS) centered at longitude 21^o
VGPS continuum mosaic (FITS) centered at longitude 25^o
VGPS continuum mosaic (FITS) centered at longitude 29^o
VGPS continuum mosaic (FITS) centered at longitude 33^o
VGPS continuum mosaic (FITS) centered at longitude 37^o
VGPS continuum mosaic (FITS) centered at longitude 41^o
VGPS continuum mosaic (FITS) centered at longitude 45^o
VGPS continuum mosaic (FITS) centered at longitude 49^o
VGPS continuum mosaic (FITS) centered at longitude 53^o
VGPS continuum mosaic (FITS) centered at longitude 57^o
VGPS continuum mosaic (FITS) centered at longitude 61^o
VGPS continuum mosaic (FITS) centered at longitude 65^o
