Version 2.3 of the Midcourse Space Experiment (MSX) Point Source Catalog (PSC), which supercedes the version (1.2) that was released in 1999, contains over 100,000 more sources than the previous version. The photometry is based on co-added image plates, as opposed to single-scan data, which results in improved sensitivity and hence reliability in the fluxes. Comparison with Tycho-2 positions indicates that the astrometric accuracy of the new catalog is more than 1'' better than that in Version 1.2. In addition to the Galactic plane, Areas Missed by the Infrared Astronomical Satellite (IRAS), and the Large Magellanic Cloud, which were included in the previous catalog, Version 2.3 includes data from the Small Magellanic Cloud, eight nearby galaxies, and several molecular clouds and star forming regions.
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.
Spitzer MIPS 24 and 70 micron Imaging of the South Ecliptic Pole

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).
