SURVEYING THE AGENTS OF GALAXY EVOLUTION IN THE TIDALLY STRIPPED, LOW METALLICITY SMALL MAGELLANIC CLOUD (SAGE-SMC). I. OVERVIEW (2011, result): “Combining the results from this SMC survey with the existing LMC (SAGE-LMC, Meixner et al. 2006) and Milky Way (GLIMPSE, MIPSGAL, Churchwell et al. 2009; Carey et al. 2009) surveys provides a foundation for understanding the physics of the ISM, current star formation, and evolved-star mass loss as…”
THE WISE CATALOG OF GALACTIC H ii REGIONS (2013, methodology): “For complicated regions of the Galaxy, we verify that the WISE sources are distinct using the Spitzer GLIMPSE (Benjamin et al. 2003; Churchwell et al. 2009) and MIPSGAL (Carey et al. 2009) legacy data, when possible.”
ON THE NATURE OF THE LOCAL SPIRAL ARM OF THE MILKY WAY (2013, background): “Churchwell et al. (2009) favor two arms from their investigation of counts of older stars, while observations of gas and dust indicate four- or five-arm models (Russeil 2003; Hou et al. 2009).”
Hierarchical fragmentation and differential star formation in the Galactic ‘Snake’: infrared dark cloud G11.11−0.12 (2014, background): “Heavy dust extinction (NH2 ∼ 10 23cm−2, Av > 100 mag) obscures the forming young protostars and also the Galactic background radiation even at mid-infrared wavelengths (Churchwell et al. 2009; Carey et al. 2009), when viewed against the Galactic plane.”
The second data release of the INT Photometric Hα Survey of the Northern Galactic Plane (IPHAS DR2) (2014, methodology): “19 shows a mosaic of the same region as seen in the mid-infrared by the Spitzer Space Telescope Galactic Legacy Infrared Mid-Plane Survey Extraordinaire (GLIMPSE; Benjamin et al. 2003; Churchwell et al. 2009).”
Target Selection for the SDSS-IV APOGEE-2 Survey (2017, methodology): “We begin with the 2 Micron All Sky Survey Point Source Catalog (2MASS PSC; Skrutskie et al. 2006) and add midIR photometry from the Spitzer-IRAC GLIMPSE (Benjamin et al. 2005; Churchwell et al. 2009) and AllWISE (Wright et al. 2010; Cutri et al. 2013) catalogs.”
A CLASS I AND CLASS II CH3OH MASER SURVEY OF EGOs FROM THE GLIMPSE SURVEY (2009, background): “…stages of massive star formation: infrared dark clouds (IRDCs), seen in silhouette against MIR Galactic background emission, particularly at 8 µm (Churchwell et al. 2009) surveys of the Galactic Plane, IRDCs are cold (T<20 K), dense (n(H 2 )>10 5 cm −3 ) clouds of molecular gas and dust (e.g.…”
The observed spiral structure of the Milky Way (2014, background): “…to 15◦ should be carefully cal- Article number, page 5 of 22 culated for their kinematic distances (Tian & Leahy 2014) because of the Near and Far 3 kpc Arms (e.g., Dame & Thaddeus 2008; Green et al. 2011; Jones et al. 2013) and the Galactic bar(s) (Hammersley et al. 2000; Churchwell et al. 2009).”
The Milky Way Project First Data Release: a bubblier Galactic disc (2012, methodology): “63 57 v1 [ tures (complete or partially broken) in 3.6–8.0 µm images from the Galactic Legacy Infrared Survey Extraordinaire (GLIMPSE; Benjamin et al. 2003; Churchwell et al. 2009).”
THE MILKY WAY'S CIRCULAR-VELOCITY CURVE BETWEEN 4 AND 14 kpc FROM APOGEE DATA (2012, methodology): “The extinction corrections for targets in the Galactic mid-plane use mid-IR photometry from either WISE (Wright et al. 2010) or Spitzer-IRAC GLIMPSEI (Churchwell et al. 2009); therefore, both mid-IR detections and mid-IR photometric uncertainties less than 0.1 mag are required24.”
CHEMICAL CARTOGRAPHY WITH APOGEE: METALLICITY DISTRIBUTION FUNCTIONS AND THE CHEMICAL STRUCTURE OF THE MILKY WAY DISK (2015, methodology): “…(RJCE;Majewski et al. 2011), which uses Two Micron All Sky Surveyphotometry (Skrutskie et al. 2006) in conjunction with near-IR photometry from the Spitzer/IRAC (Fazio & Team 2004) GLIMPSE surveys (Benjamin et al. 2003; Churchwell et al. 2009) where available, or from WISE (Wright et al. 2010).”
PHYSICAL PROPERTIES AND GALACTIC DISTRIBUTION OF MOLECULAR CLOUDS IDENTIFIED IN THE GALACTIC RING SURVEY (2010, methodology): “The Sagittarius arm is not detected as an overdensity in the old stellar population, perhaps because the Sagittarius arm is only a gas compression (Churchwell et al. 2009).”
The star formation history and accretion-disc fraction among the K-type members of the Scorpius–Centaurus OB association (2016, methodology): “HD 326277 has Spitzer 3.6µm and 4.5µm IRAC photometry in GLIMPSE ([3.6]=8.165±0.040 mag, [4.5]=8.178±0.044 mag; Churchwell et al. 2009) which differs from the WISE W1 and W2 by ∼0.5 mag.”
Global collapse of molecular clouds as a formation mechanism for the most massive stars (2013, methodology): “The visual comparison with the Spitzer image of SDC335 demonstrates how efficient this molecule is in tracing the network of pc-long filaments seen in dust extinction.”
SDC13 infrared dark clouds: longitudinally collapsing filaments? (2013, methodology): “We also make use of publicly available Spitzer GLIMPSE (Churchwell et al. 2009) and 24 µm MIPSGAL (Carey et al. 2009) data.”

APPENDIX APPENDIX A: IRAC COLORS OF GIANT STARS The GLIMPSE survey of the galactic mid-plane (Benjamin et al. 2003; Churchwell et al. 2009), which combines 2MASS JHK with Spitzer/IRAC imaging observations, furnishes the opportunity to calibrate an empirical…”
