IRAS has provided infrared maps of a large number of galaxies. However the size of IRAS survey detectors is quite large (∼5′ in the cross-scan direction) and there is a need for improving the resolution of these maps. In order to understand the spatial structure of galaxies, we have generated high resolution maps of 18 large galaxies by deconvolving the IRAS pointed observations from survey detectors as well as from Chopped Photometric Channel (CPC) using Maximum Entropy Method (MEM).
