Abstract
The Galactic Legacy Infrared Mid-Plane Survey Extraordinaire (GLIMPSEI), using the Spitzer Space Telescope Infrared Array Camera (IRAC) surveyed approximately 220 square degrees of the Galactic plane, covering a latitude range of ±1◦, and a longitude range of |l| =10◦−65◦, plus the Observation Strategy Validation (OSV) region at l=284◦. The observations consisted of two 1.2 second integrations at each position, for a total of over 77,000 pointings and ∼310,000 IRAC frames in 400 hours total survey time. The survey consists of a point source Catalog, a point source Archive, and mosaicked images.

The GLIMPSEI Catalog (GLMIC, or the “Catalog”) consists of point sources whose selection criteria are determined by the requirement that the reliability be ≥99.5%. There is a range of limiting magnitudes depending on whether the source is in a sparsely populated or low background region or in a region of high diffuse background or high source density. The photometric uncertainty is typically < 0.2 mag.
