| Abstract: |
The Spitzer Science Center will produce a source list (SL) of
photometry for a large subset of imaging data in the Spitzer
Heritage Archive (SHA). The list will enable a large range of
science projects. The primary requirement on the SL is very high
reliability — with areal coverage, completeness and limiting depth being secondary considerations. The SHA at the NASA Infrared Science
Archive (IRSA) will serve the SL as an enhanced data product. The SL
will include data from the four channels of IRAC (3–8 microns) and
the 24 micron channel of MIPS. The Source List will include image
products (mosaics) and photometric data for Spitzer observations of
about 1500 square degrees and include around 30 million sources. We
describe ongoing science validation of the Spitzer Source List, and
discuss the range of use cases which will be supported |
