20200914 (updated 20200917) – The GPIPS Unique Star File is now also served out by CDS and accessible using Vizier, see, http://vizier.u-strasbg.fr/viz-bin/VizieR?-source=J/ApJS/249/23 . The Note FOV-based PHOTCAT and POLCAT tables are available from CDS at: ftp://cdsarc.u-strasbg.fr/pub/cats/J/ApJS/249/23

2020902 – The GPIPS Unique Star File is now live at the Infrared Science Archive (IRSA) at IPAC, including accessible via their powerful search tools. See, https://irsa.ipac.caltech.edu/data/GPIPS/overview.html. IRSA is also serving out the deep H-band GPIPS images via the same web page.

20200729 – ApJ Supplement Series paper on GPIPS Data Release 4 (Clemens et al. 2020) has been published, see https://doi.org/10.3847/1538-4365/ab9f30

20200710 – Updated version of the Unique Star Data File (v1.1) uploaded to Zenodo and on the web page here. Fixes GAIA missing g-band uncertainties and updates GAIA_DESIG to use DR2NAME. The former change affected the multiple match resolution code, so some of the stellar cross matches are different than in V1.0.  The page proofs for the ApJS paper were updated to reflect the new match numbers – most change by 0.1 to 0.2%, only. The GAIA_MATCH files have also been updated for the FOV-based DR4 release to reflect the new GAIA information.

20200630 – The ApJ Supplement Series manuscript has been posted to the arXiv, see https://arxiv.org/abs/2006.15203

20200622 – Our ApJ Supplements manuscript describing DR4 and data file contents and formats has been accepted for publication. Actively uploading the Unique Star Data File to Zenodo to link to a DOI for the paper. Have updated the offered DR4 file types on the Unique Star Data web page to include VOTable, IPAC, and IDL SAV type versions all of which are currently available for download.

20200427 – updated the DR4 Unique Star File

20200323 – all GPIPS DR4 FOV-based data products are now up to date and available from the FOV-based Data Products Web page

20200318 – this new website launched

20200316 – used Dropbox to link over the large zip files (POLCATs, PHOTCATs, and the match files for Gaia, 2MASS, GLIMPSE, WISE). Also linked the large unique star file, but in IDL SAV form. Still to find and move: FITS images, observing logs, and printable images with overlays.

20200315 – Beginning transfer of content from old gpips0.bu.edu site to here, with new DR4 data. Work in progress…
