Bolocam Galactic Plane Survey (BGPS)
The survey has been done using Bolocam on the Caltech Submillimeter Observatory.
The coverage is 170 deg2 along the Galactic plane,
with an effective angular resolution of 33 arcseconds at 1.1 mm.
The HEALPix maps have been generated for versions 2.0 and 2.1 fo the BGPS data.
Units of the data are Jy/beam.
