James Di Francesco, Doug Johnstone, Helen Kirk, Todd MacKenzie,, Elizabeth Ledwosinska

TL;DR
The paper presents comprehensive SCUBA continuum maps and catalogues at 850 and 450 microns, identifying and characterizing astronomical objects from archival data to facilitate future research.
Contribution
It introduces the SCUBA Legacy Catalogues with extensive maps and automated object identification, improving data accessibility and analysis for submillimetre astronomy.
Findings
Catalogues contain over 11,000 objects with flux and size estimates.
Maps cover 1.2 x 1.2 degrees regions from JCMT archive.
Provides machine-readable data and object identifications.
Abstract
We present the SCUBA Legacy Catalogues, two comprehensive sets of continuum maps (and catalogues) using data at 850 microns and 450 microns of the various astronomical objects obtained with the Submillimetre Common User Bolometer Array (SCUBA). The Fundamental Map Dataset contains data only where superior atmospheric opacity calibration data were available. The Extended Map Dataset is comprised of data regardless of the quality of the opacity calibration. Each Dataset contains 1.2 degree x 1.2 degree maps at locations where data existed in the JCMT archive, imaged using the matrix inversion method. The Fundamental Dataset is comprised of 1423 maps at 850 microns and 1357 maps at 450 microns. The Extended Dataset is comprised of 1547 maps at 850 microns. Neither Dataset includes high sensitivity, single chop SCUBA maps of "cosmological fields" nor solar system objects. Each Dataset was…
