MIPS 24-160 micron photometry for the Herschel-SPIRE Local Galaxies
  Guaranteed Time Programs
  We provide an overview of ancillary 24, 70, and 160 micron data from the
Multiband Imaging Photometer for Spitzer (MIPS) that are intended to complement
the 70-500 micron Herschel Space Observatory photometry data for nearby
galaxies obtained by the Herschel-SPIRE Local Galaxies Guaranteed Time Programs
and the Herschel Virgo Cluster Survey. The MIPS data can be used to extend the
photometry to wave bands that are not observed in these Herschel surveys and to
check the photometry in cases where Herschel performs observations at the same
wavelengths. Additionally, we measured globally-integrated 24-160 micron flux
densities for the galaxies in the sample that can be used for the construction
of spectral energy distributions. Using MIPS photometry published by other
references, we have confirmed that we are obtaining accurate photometry for
these galaxies.
