title: The ALMA-QUARKS Survey Data Atlas

description: The data atlas aims to provide valuable insights into the multiscale and multiphase interstellar medium (ISM) in high-mass star formation. We combine the Galactic Legacy Infrared Mid-Plane Survey Extraordinaire (GLIMPSE) data at 3.6, 4.5, and 8.0 um into the pseudo color map in the left panel. The three bands can provide information about young stellar objects (YSOs), shocked molecular gas in protostellar outflows, and hot dust or polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) emission, respectively. The angular resolution of the images is smoothed to a uniform value of 2". Some of our source positions have no available Spitzer data, and for these, we use ALLWISE data at 3.4, 4.6, and 22.0 um instead. We use the ATLASGAL data to trace the large-scale cold and dense gas which indicates the star formation region, in the white contours on the left panel. If no ATLASGAL data are available, far infrared (FIR) Herschel data from ``the Herschel Infrared Galactic Plane Survey'' (HiGAL) at 500 um is used instead. The MeerKAT Galactic Plane Survey 1.28 GHz data (MGPS) provides essential radio information with a resolution of $\sim8\arcsec$. It is overlaid with yellow contours to indicate the ionized gas from ultra-compact UCHII and HCHII regions as well as radio jets. On a smaller scale, the ATOMS 12m+ACA combined 3 mm continuum data can trace both the dust emission from cold dense cores and/or the free-free emission from UCHII and HCHII regions. The data are shown in the middle panel. As a follow-up, the QUARKS 1.3 mm ACA observations are pointed towards the 3 mm continuum emission region, as marked by the white dashed circles where the 7-m primary beam response is 0.2. The data are shown in the right panel.
