The Spitzer Enhanced Imaging Products (SEIP) source list. (2021)

Keywords :

Abstract:The Spitzer Science Center and IRSA have released a set of Enhanced Imaging Products (SEIP) from the Spitzer Heritage Archive. These include Super Mosaics and a Source List (SL) 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. ...(more)

The Source List (SL) provides a list of highly reliable sources extracted from the Spitzer imaging archive. The SL processing was designed to prioritize reliability over completeness or areal coverage. In order to make the Source list reliable, many sources were rejected. As a result, 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 ratio cut or did not make the cuts in place for a compact true source. Although the Source List is useful for many science projects, users who require high levels of completeness are encouraged to use caution.
