Sky coverage, in Galactic coordinates, of the GALEX imaging (GR6plus7 data release). The surveys with the largest area coverage are AIS (shown in blue) and MIS (shown in green). Observations from other surveys are shown in black (figure adapted from Bianchi et al. 2014a). Data from the trailed CAUSE observations at the end of the mission are not shown. Left: fields observed with the NUV detector on, regardless of FUV detector status; right: fields observed with both FUV and NUV detectors on. The latter constitute the present catalog.
