The Spitzer Science Center (SSC) and Infrared Science Archive (IRSA) have released a set of Enhanced Imaging Products from the Spitzer Heritage Archive. These include enhanced mosaic images created from multiple AORs where appropriate and a source list (SL) of photometry for compact sources. The enhanced imaging products include data from the four channels of IRAC (3-8 microns) and the 24 micron channel of MIPS.
The Source List was designed to prioritize reliability over completeness. In order to make the Source List reliable, many sources were rejected. Therefore, it is not complete at any flux density. At bright flux densities, nearby galaxies may be rejected for being too extended, or for being too close to a neighboring galaxy. At faint flux densities, sources will be missing because they do not meet the signal-to-noise cut. Although the Source List is useful for many science projects, users who require high levels of completeness are encouraged to use caution. If you are interested in a source that does not appear in the Source List, you should first inspect the Coverage Table to ensure that the data exists, and then consider measuring the photometry on the Super Mosaics yourself.
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.

The Traceback Table is designed to allow users to translate between Program ID/AOR number/DCE number (information about pipeline data available from the Spitzer Heritage Archive) and Supermosaic ID/Region ID in the Spitzer Enhanced Imaging Products.
Spitzer Extragalactic First Look Survey IRAC Bandmerged Main Field Catalog
Short Name:
XFLS 4-band Main
Date:
01 Oct 2018 20:27:17
Publisher:
NASA/IPAC Infrared Science Archive
Description:
The Extragalactic First Look Survey is composed of 4 square degrees of imaging with MIPS and IRAC centered at J1718+5930, with extensive ancillary data from ground-based optical and radio telescopes. As one of the first observations made with Spitzer after the completion of Science Verification at the end of 2003 November, the aim of this 67 hr survey was to characterize the extragalactic source populations observed with Spitzer down to sub-millijansky levels in the mid-infrared.
