Description
The PACS Evolutionary Probe (PEP, Lutz et al. 2011) is a Herschel guaranteed time deep extragalactic survey (KPGT_dlutz_1) targeting six among the most popular "blank fields", ten lensing clusters of galaxies, and two z ~1 clusters at wavelengths of 100, and 160 microns. PEP includes SPIRE observations of the two z ~1 clusters at wavelengths of 250, 350, and 500 microns. SPIRE coverage of all other fields is available from the HerMES survey (Oliver et al. 2010). In addition, deep SPIRE GOODS-N data are provided by the GOODS-Herschel program (Elbaz et al. 2011).
The PACS blind catalogs extracted using Starfinder have been matched to the available 24 micron source lists by means of a maximum likelihood analysis (Ciliegi et al. 2001; Sutherland & Saunders 1992), taking advantage of the available 24 micron fluxes. See the documentation for details.
