Abstract

VISION is a near-infrared survey of the entire Orion A molecular cloud, the nearest massive star forming region. It was conducted with the ESO VISTA telescope at Paranal and covers about 18 deg2 of the high column-density areas of the molecular cloud in the J, H, and Ks bands. The source catalog contains about 800000 sources. In addition an extinction-free control field was observed at similar galactic latitude. The source catalog for the control field contains about 90000 sources.
This data set also includes the identification of YSO and galaxy cluster candidates as presented in the survey paper.
Image data (HiPS resource) are available at alasky.u-strasbg.fr/VISTA/VISTA-Orion-A-Colored/
