GLIMPSE (Galactic Legacy Infrared Mid-Plane Survey Extraordinaire), a SIRTF Legacy Science Program, will be a fully sampled, confusion-limited infrared survey of the inner two-thirds of the Galactic disk with a pixel resolution of \~1.2" using the Infrared Array Camera (IRAC) at 3.6, 4.5, 5.8, and 8.0 microns. The survey will cover Galactic latitudes |b| <1 degree and longitudes |l|=10 to 65 degrees (both sides of the Galactic center). The survey area contains the outer ends of the Galactic bar, the Galactic molecular ring, and the inner spiral arms. The GLIMPSE team will process these data to produce a point source catalog, a point source data archive, and a set of mosaicked images. We summarize our observing strategy, give details of our data products, and summarize some of the principal science questions that will be addressed using GLIMPSE data. Up-to-date documentation, survey progress, and information on complementary datasets are available on the GLIMPSE web site: www.astro.wisc.edu/glimpse.

  1. EP260321a/SN 2026gzf: The Faintest Shock Breakout Associated with a Broad-Lined Supernova

    astro-ph.HE 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    EP260321a is the faintest observed shock breakout tied to a broad-lined Type Ic supernova, interpreted as a choked weak outflow from a stripped star.

  2. A nine-member protostellar system forming via filament fragmentation in the high mass protocluster NGC 6334-43

    astro-ph.GA 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Serendipitous discovery of a bound nine-member protostellar system in NGC 6334-43 formed by filament fragmentation, with outflows from two sources and virial masses derived for three cores.

  3. BISTRO Survey: Gravity-Dominated and Magnetically Regulated Star Formation in M17 SW

    astro-ph.GA 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    High-resolution magnetic field maps of M17 SW reveal gravity-dominated energy budget with magnetic fields regulating collapse and accretion channels in a near-equipartition state.

  4. EP260321a/SN 2026gzf: The Faintest Shock Breakout Associated with a Broad-Lined Supernova

    astro-ph.HE 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    EP260321a is identified as the faintest shock breakout X-ray transient associated with broad-lined Ic supernova SN 2026gzf, interpreted as originating from a mildly relativistic weak outflow choked inside the progenitor star.

  5. The Atacama Large Aperture Submillimeter Telescope (AtLAST)

    astro-ph.IM 2019-07 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    Proposes the AtLAST 50m submm telescope concept with 1-degree field of view and advanced instruments to achieve transformative wide-field mapping of the sub-mm sky.
