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
Short Name:
SIMPLE
Date:
27 Oct 2022 19:00:00
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].
LVL consists of a sample of 258 galaxies, which have been mapped with both IRAC (4 bands) and MIPS (3 bands). In addition, ancillary data products consisting of images in the narrow-band H-alpha line emission and broad-band R (from the ground) and the UV continuum (2 bands) from GALEX are also available for many of the galaxies.
Spitzer Matching Survey of the Ultra-VISTA Deep Stripes
Short Name:
SMUVS
Date:

Publisher:
NASA/IPAC Infrared Science Archive
Description:
The Spitzer Matching Survey of the Ultra-VISTA Deep Stripes (SMUVS) consists of deep 3.6 and 4.5 imaging of three Ultra-VISTA near-infrared survey stripes in the COSMOS field. SMUVS reaches point-source sensitivities of about 25.0 AB mag at both 3.6 and 4.5 microns with a significance of 4 sigma, accounting for both survey sensitivity and source confusion. To this limit, the SMUVS catalogs contain a total of ~350,000 sources, each of which is detected significantly in at least one IRAC band. Because of its uniform and high sensitivity, relatively large area coverage, and the wide array of ancillary data available in COSMOS, the SMUVS survey will be useful for a large number of cosmological investigations.
Spitzer MIPS 24 and 70 micron Imaging of the South Ecliptic Pole
Short Name:
SEP
Date:
27 Oct 2022 19:00:00
Publisher:
NASA/IPAC Infrared Science Archive
Description:
The Spitzer/MIPS 24 and 70 μm imaging of an 11.5 square degree region near the South Ecliptic Pole (SEP) has been carried out in order to complement sub-millimeter wavelength observations (250-500 μm) of the same region of sky taken with the Balloon-borne Large Aperture Sub-millimeter Telescope (BLAST), with the goal of better characterizing the nature of sub-millimeter selected galaxies and their role in galaxy evolution. This field has also been extensively mapped at other wavelengths, and will be imaged from 100-500 μm as part of the Herschel Multi-tiered Extragalactic Survey (HerMES).
This data set includes images of the galaxy cluster Abell 1763 at visible and infrared wavelengths: r', J, H, and Ks obtained using the Palomar 200in telescope, as well as the IRAC and MIPS images from Spitzer. The cluster is covered out to approximately 3 virial radii with deep 24 mum imaging (a 5sigma depth of 0.2 mJy). This same field of ~40' × 40' is covered in all four IRAC bands as well as the longer wavelength MIPS bands (70 and 160 mum). The r' imaging covers ~0.8 deg2 down to 25.5 mag, and overlaps with most of the MIPS field of view. The J, H, and Ks images cover the cluster core and roughly half of the filament galaxies, which extend toward the neighboring cluster, Abell 1770.
Spitzer Public Legacy Survey of the UKIDSS Ultra Deep Survey
Short Name:
SpUDS
Date:
27 Oct 2022 19:00:00
Publisher:
NASA/IPAC Infrared Science Archive
Description:
SpUDS is a survey of the ~1 square degree UKIDSS Ultra Deep Survey (UDS). The survey consists of deep IRAC and 24 micron MIPS observations. The UDS is the largest deep near-infrared (JHK) survey in existence, and the first capable of sampling representative cosmological volumes (100x100 Mpc) out to the highest redshifts (z>6).
