Abstract:
    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.

Description: 
    The 24-160 micron Spitzer MIPS data supplement the 70-500 micron
    Herschel data that have obtained by the Herschel-SPIRE Local
    Galaxies Guaranteed Time Programs (the Very Nearby Galaxies
    Survey, the Dwarf Galaxies Survey, and the Herschel Reference
    Survey) and the Herschel Virgo Cluster Survey.

Global notes:
Note (G1): The HRS number corresponds to the numbers given by Boselli
     et al. (2010PASP..122..261B).
Note (G2): The coordinates are taken from the NASA/IPAC Extragalactic 
     Database unless otherwise noted.
Note (G3): The dimensions and poisiton angle of the optical discs are
     taken from Third Reference Catalogue of Bright Galaxies by de
     Vaucouleurs et al. (Cat. VII/155).  The flux densities were
     generally measured within regions that are 1.5 times the size of
     the optical disc parameters given here.  When the major axis,
     major/minor axis ratio, and position angle are specified by de
     Vaucouleurs et al. (1991), then all of that data is printed here,
     and the source is treated as elliptical for photometry.  If de
     Vaucouleurs did not specify the major/minor axis ratio or the
     position angle of the optical disc, then only the major axis is
     given, and the optical disc is treated as a circular disc for
     photometry.  If the major axis is not specified, then the source
     is treated as a point source for photometry.  The position angle
     is defined as degrees from north through east.
Note (G4): Flags are as follows:
     A: Flux densities for these objects were measured in special 
        apertures other than the standard photometry apertures 
        (1.5 times the optical disc of the galaxies), but the central 
        coordinates of the aperture still correspond to the coordinates
        given in the NASA/IPAC Extragalactic Database.
     B: Either these objects are composed of two or more sources with
        optical discs that overlap or are one of the objects within
        such systems.  Flux densities were measured within special
        apertures that encompassed the emission from all overlapping
        sources.  The reported coordinates correspond to the center of
        the apertures used for photometry and not necessarily to the
        positions of the sources as given by the NASA/IPAC
        Extragalactic Database.  Note that one set of flux densities
        is reported for NGC 4567 and NGC 4568.
     C: Flux density measurements were made within the optical discs
        of these sources instead of within regions that were 1.5 times the
        size of the optical discs.
Note (G5): Flags are as follows:
     A: The 160 micron measurements are from data in which significant
        portions of the optical discs (> 10%) of the galaxies were not
        covered in this specific wave band.  The measurements here are
        for the region that was covered in the MIPS data. We have
        applied no corrections for the missing flux density.
     B: These 160 micron measurements are for galaxies that were
        covered in scan map observations in which the final 160 micron
        images for these galaxies contain NaN values within the
        optical disc as a consequence of incomplete coverage. This
        typically occurs when scan maps are performed using the fast
        scan rate, although NaN values within the optical discs of
        galaxies occasionally appear in other data. The 160 micron
        measurements for these galaxies is based upon interpolating
        over these pixels.
