The Great Observatories Origins Deep Survey (GOODS) aims to unite extremely deep observations from NASA's Great Observatories (Spitzer, Hubble and Chandra), ESA's Herschel and XMM-Newton, and the most powerful ground-based facilities. The aim is to survey the distant universe to the faintest flux limits across the broadest range of wavelengths.
Herschel Inventory of the Agents of Galaxy Evolution
Short Name:
HERITAGE

Publisher:
NASA/IPAC Infrared Science Archive
Description:
The HERschel Inventory of The Agents of Galaxy Evolution (HERITAGE) open time key program mapped the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) and Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) at 100, 160, 250, 350, and 500 microns using Herschel's PACS and SPIRE instruments. The overriding science goal of HERITAGE is to study the life cycle of matter as traced by dust in the LMC and SMC.
The Herschel Multi-tiered Extragalactic Survey (HerMES) is a legacy programme (KPGT_soliver1) designed to map a set of nested fields totalling 380 sq. deg. Fields range in size from 0.01 to 20 sq. deg., using SPIRE at 250, 350 and 500 microns. These bands cover the peak of the redshifted thermal spectral energy distribution from interstellar dust and thus capture the reprocessed optical and ultraviolet radiation from star formation that has been absorbed by dust, and are critical for forming a complete multiwavelength understanding of galaxy formation and evolution.
SPIRE Highly Processed Data Products are available for two data sets: the spectrometer calibration sources and re-gridded hyper-spectral cubes for 22 mapping observations.
Herschel: TNOs are Cool! - A Survey of the trans-Neptunian Region
Short Name:
COOLTNOs

NASA/IPAC Infrared Science Archive
Description:
The 'TNOs are Cool! - A Survey of the trans-Neptunian region' Open Time Key Program (KPOT_thmuelle_1) used PACS to observe 132 Centaurs and trans-Neptunian objects, as well as the giant planet irregular moon Sycorax.
This new generation of IRAS images, called IRIS, benefits from better zodiacal light subtraction, calibration and zero levels compatible with DIRBE, and better destriping. At 100 microns, the IRIS product is also a significant improvement over the Schlegel et al. (1998) maps. IRIS keeps the full ISSA resolution, includes well calibrated point sources, and the diffuse emission calibration at scales smaller than 1 degree was corrected for the variation of the IRAS detector responsivity with scale and brightness. The uncertainty on the IRIS calibration and zero levels is dominated by the uncertainty of the DIRBE calibration and the accuracy of the zodiacal light model.
IRAC Observations of the Extended Disk and Halo of M31
Short Name:
M31IRAC

Publisher:
NASA/IPAC Infrared Science Archive
Description:
Spitzer IRAC Observations of the Extended Disk and Halo of M31 (M31 IRAC) covers the major and minor axes of M31 with total lengths of 6.6 and 4.4 degrees, respectively. The M31 IRAC Catalog includes 426,529 sources.
The IRAC Ultradeep Field (IUDF) combines all ultradeep data ever taken with the Spitzer Infrared Array Camera (IRAC) at 3.6 and 4.5 microns over GOODS-South and the HUDF (+ parallels). The deepest observations come from the IRAC Ultra Deep Field (IUDF, ID 70145, PI Labbe) and IRAC Legacy over GOODS (IGOODS, PID 10076, PI Oesch) programs, combined with archival data from GOODS (PID 194, PI Dickinson), SEDS (PID 60022, PI G. Fazio), S-CANDELS (PID 70204, PI Fazio), ERS (PID 80217, PI Fazio), and UDF2 (PID 30866, PI Bouwens). The combined IRAC images in this data release amount to 1500 hour total integration time, ranging from >50 hour over 150 sq. arcmin, and >100 hour over 60 sq. arcmin, to ~200 hour over 5 - 10 sq. arcmin.
