COMMENT This file contains data from the Landecker and Wielebinski 150 MHz
COMMENT radio continuum all-sky map. Data for delta > 25 deg are extrapolated
COMMENT from 178 MHz (Turtle & Baldwin 1962, MNRAS 124, 297). Data for delta
COMMENT < -25 deg are extrapolated from 85 MHz (Yates et al. 1967, Aust. J.
COMMENT Phys., 21, 185). The data in Galactic coordinates were obtained from
COMMENT the Max Planck Institute for Radio Astronomy Survey Sampler website
COMMENT and interpolated to a Galactic coordinate HEALPix projection.
COMMENT This file is distributed and maintained by LAMBDA.
