Taurus Catalog

Published by NASA/IPAC Infrared Science Archive | National Aeronautics and Space Administration | Metadata Last Checked: October 20, 2025 | Last Modified: 2025-09-10
The Spitzer Space Telescope Survey of the Taurus is a Legacy III project titled, Taurus 2: Finishing the Spitzer Map of the Taurus Molecular Clouds (Taurus). The Taurus Spitzer Legacy project has mapped ≈44 square degrees of the Taurus star-formation region using the IRAC and MIPS cameras aboard the Spitzer Space Telescope. In this release, the team provides a bandmerged catalog of 269,358 point sources for the initial 70% of the survey area ("Taurus 1"). Flux densities are reported for the 3.6, 4.5, 5.8, 8.0, and 24 micron bands of IRAC and MIPS. MIPS 70 micron flux densities are also given for a small number of sources. Aperture photometry at three radii is provided for IRAC sources. PSF-fitting photometry is reported for MIPS flux densities.
