VESTIGE (a Virgo Environmental Survey Tracing Ionised Gas Emission) is a CFHT large programme to observe the Virgo cluster in the r-band and in a narrow Hα filter. Alessandro Boselli is the PI.
VESTIGE has published its first data. This first publication contains JPG images of all the galaxies detected in Hα, together with FITS images for galaxies whose data have been validated in a publication. This data is available at this address https://mission.lam.fr/vestige/data.html
VESTIGE also provides the community with an all-sky view of the Virgo cluster in four versions
Virgo cluster in four versions:
– The r-band image : https://mission.lam.fr/vestige/data/HiPS/LAM_P_VESTIGE_r
– The image of the narrow filter Hα : https://mission.lam.fr/vestige/data/HiPS/LAM_P_VESTIGE_Halpha
– The image of the net flux Hα calculated by the project : https://mission.lam.fr/vestige/data/HiPS/LAM_P_VESTIGE_Halpha_net
– An RGB image combining these three images (start with this one): https://mission.lam.fr/vestige/data/HiPS/LAM_P_VESTIGE_RGB
