Comparison of reconstruction methods for IRAS data

Comparison of reconstruction methods for IRAS survey scans of the interacting galaxy pair, M51, The "Whirlpool Galaxy". Shown are reconstructions using the Pixon method, the Lucy-Richardson method, the IPAC Maximum Correlation Method (MCM), and MEM (MEMSYS 3). Panel (b) from Bontekoe et al. (1991, Astron & Astrophys, 248, 328), and panels (c) and (d) from Rice (1993, AJ, 105, 67). This figure first appeared in Puetter and Pina (1994, in "Science with high Spatial Resolution Far-Infrared Data", Pasadena: Jet Propulsion Laboratory, 95-4, 61)
