The Spitzer Deep Wide-Field Survey is a four-epoch survey of roughly 10 square degrees of the NOAO Deep, Wide-Field Survey field in Boötes. The first visit to the field occurred very early in the Spitzer mission, in 2004 January, as part of the IRAC Shallow Survey (Eisenhardt et al. 2004). Subsequent visits to the field as part of the SDWFS program reimaged the same area to the same depth.
The Spitzer Science Center and IRSA have released a set of Enhanced Imaging Products (SEIP) from the Spitzer Heritage Archive. These include Super Mosaics (combining data from multiple programs where appropriate) and a Source List of photometry for compact sources. The primary requirement on the Source List is very high reliability -- with areal coverage, completeness, and limiting depth being secondary considerations. The SEIP include data from the four channels of IRAC (3.6, 4.5, 5.8, 8 microns) and the 24 micron channel of MIPS. The full set of products for the Spitzer cryogenic mission includes around 42 million sources.
SERVS is a warm Spitzer survey which images approximately 18 square degrees in the centers of the SWIRE XMM-LSS, ELAIS-S1, CDFS, Lockman and ELAIS-N1 fields to 20min (2mu Jy) depth at 3.6 and 4.5 microns. SERVS overlaps with the VISTA-VIDEO near infrared and Herschel-HERMES and SCUBA2-S2CLS far-infrared surveys.
The Spitzer Extragalactic First Look Survey is composed of 4 square degrees of imaging with MIPS and IRAC centered at J1718+5930. Ancillary data are available from a wide variety of optical and radio observatories.
The Spitzer/HETDEX Exploratory Large-Area (SHELA) survey covers ~24 sq. deg at 3.6 and 4.5 microns. The survey area falls within the footprints of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey "Stripe 82" region, the Hobby-Eberly Telescope Dark Energy Experiment (HETDEX), and the Dark Energy Survey. The images and catalogs are 80% (50%) complete to limiting magnitudes of 22.0 (22.6) AB mag in the detection image, which is constructed from the weighted sum of the IRAC 3.6 and 4.5 micron images. The catalogs reach limiting sensitivities of 1.1 microJy at both 3.6 and 4.5 microns (1#, for R = 2" circular apertures).
The Spitzer Infrared Nearby Galaxy Survey is a comprehensive infrared imaging and spectroscopic survey of 75 nearby galaxies. Its primary goal is to characterize the infrared emission of galaxies and their principal infrared-emitting components, across a broad range of galaxy properties and star formation environments. SINGS provides new insights into the physical processes connecting star formation to the interstellar medium properties of galaxies and provides a vital foundation for understanding infrared observations of the distant universe and ultraluminous and active galaxies.
The Spitzer IRAC Equatorial Survey (SpIES) is a large-area survey of 115 sq. degrees in the Equatorial SDSS Stripe 82 field. SpIES achieves 5 sigma depths of 6.13 microJy (21.93 AB magnitude) and 5.75 microJy (22.0 AB magnitude) at 3.6 and 4.5 microns, respectively.
Spitzer IRAC/MUSYC Public Legacy Survey in the Extended Chandra Deep Field South

Publisher:
NASA/IPAC Infrared Science Archive
Description:
SIMPLE consists of deep IRAC observations (several hours per pointing) covering the 0.5 x 0.5 deg area surrounding the GOODS CDF-South. This low-background region of the sky has by far the best supporting data of any cosmological survey field of comparable area, with deep observations from the X-rays to the thermal infrared.
Level 1 / Basic Calibration Data (BCD) from Spitzer Space Telescope. BCDs are the individual data frames that emerge [calibrated] from the Spitzer pipeline.
Level 2 or post Basic Calibrated Data (PBCD) from Spitzer Space Telescope. This products come from combining the individual data frames or BCDs [such as mosaics of individual pointings].
