Zusammenfassung: | We present Infrared Array Camera (IRAC) data and source catalogs from the Spitzer Space Telescope Extragalactic First Look Survey. The data were taken in four broad bands centered at nominal wavelengths of 3.6, 4.5, 5.8, and 8.0 km. A set of mosaics and catalogs have been produced that are -80% complete and -99% reliable to their chosen flux density limits. The main field survey covers 3.8 deg super(2) and has flux density limits of 20, 25, 100, and 100 kJy at wavelengths of 3.6, 4.5, 5.8, and 8.0 km, respectively. The deeper "verification" survey covers 0.25 deg super(2) with limits of 10, 10, 30, and 30 kJy, respectively. We also include deep data in the ELAIS-N1 field, which covers 0.041 deg super(2) with limits of 4, 3, 10, and 10 kJy, respectively, but with only two wavelength coverages at a given sky position. The final bandmerged catalogs contain 103,193 objects in the main field, 12,224 in the verification field, and 5239 in ELAIS-N1. Flux densities of high signal-to-noise objects are accurate to about 10%, and the residual systematic error in the absolute flux density scale is 62%-3%. We have successfully extracted sources at source densities as high as 100,000 deg super(-2) in our deepest 3.6 and 4.5 km data. The mosaics and source catalogs will be made available through the Spitzer Science Center archive and the Infrared Science Archive. |
