Atacama Pathfinder Experiment (APEX)/LABOCA instrument

We present observations at a wavelength of 870 μm, carried out using the LABOCA bolometer array on the 12-m APEX telescope, located at 5100m in Llano de Chajnantor, in the Atacama desert:
- ATLASGAL (APEX Telescope Large Area Survey of the Galaxy) : a survey covering 420 sq. deg. of the inner Galactic plane, with an angular resolution of 19“; A second set of images, where the LABOCA data have been combined with the results of the Planck satellite, is also available.
- LESS (LABOCA Extended Chandra Deep Field South Submillimetre Survey) : a 30 × 30 arcminute ECDFS field, with an angular resolution of 27”;
- M83 (081.C-0827) : a survey of the Cold dust in the barred galaxy M83, with an angular resolution of 20.5“.

The units of the HEALPix maps are Jy/Beam.
