SAGE-SMC IRAC Single Frame + Mosaic Photometry Archive

The SAGE-SMC pro ject is a Cycle 4 legacy program on the Spitzer Space Telescope, entitled, SAGE-SMC: Surveying the Agents of Galaxy Evolution in the Tidally-Disrupted, Low-Metallicity Small Magellanic Cloud, with Karl Gordon (STScI) as the PI. The project overview and initial results are described in a paper by Gordon et al. (2010, in prep). The SMC was mapped at two different epochs dubbed Epochs 1 and 2 separated by 3 (IRAC) and 9 (MIPS) months, as this provides a 90-degree roll angle in the orientation of the detectors, which optimally removes the striping artifacts in MIPS and artifacts along columns and rows in the IRAC image data. In addition, these two epochs are useful constraints of source variability expected for evolved stars and some young stellar ob jects (YSOs). The IRAC and MIPS observations from the S3MC pathfinder survey of the inner 3 sq. deg. of the SMC (PI: Bolatto, referred to as Epoch 0) have been reduced using the same software. In comparison to the catalog, the archive has more source fluxes (fewer nulled wavelengths) and some more sources but these additions have more uncertainty associated with them. For the catalog, a source must be detected in at least 60% of the observations at that wavelength, at least 32% of the observations in an adjacent band (the confirming band), and the S/N must be greater than [5, 5, 5, 7] for IRAC bands [3.6um], [4.5um], [5.8um] and [8.0um]. The 2MASS K_s band is counted as a detection. For a typical source, extracted from 2x12 sec frametime images, the minimum detection criterion amounts to being detected twice in one band (usually band 1 or 2) and once in an adjacent band (sometimes referred to as the 2+1 criterion). For the catalog, sources with neighbors within a 2" radius are excluded (culled). For the archive, sources within a 0.5" are excluded. For more details, see Section 3.3 of the SAGE-SMC Data Delivery Document.

Whiteley NEO Photometry V1.0

This data set includes the ECAS system (Eight Color Asteroid Survey) photometry and taxonomic types of 77 Near Earth Objects published by R.J. Whiteley in his thesis (Whiteley, 2001. A compositional and dynamical survey of the near-earth asteroids. Ph.D. thesis, University of Hawaii), [WHITELEY2001] The ECAS system is established in Zellner et al. 1985, Icarus 61, 355-416 [ZELLNERETAL1985]. The original ECAS survey is available in PDS as data set EAR-A-2CP-3-RDR-ECAS-V3.0. The data presented here are new measurements based on the ECAS system.

VISUAL IMAGING AND PHOTOMETRY OF (29981) 1999 TD10 V1.0

The outer solar system object (29981) 1999 TD10 was observed in the R band in September 2001, and in B, V, R, and I in October 2002. We derive B- V=0.80+/-0.05mag, V-R=0.48+/-0.05mag, and R-I=0.44+/-0.05mag. Combining our data with the data from Rousselot et. al. 2003, we derive a synodic period of 15.382+/-0.001hr in agreement with the period from Rousselot et. al. 2003. Our observations show no evidence of a coma.

DeepDrill Forced Photometry Catalog

The DeepDrill team presents a catalog of multi-band forced photometry in the CDFS and XMM-LSS fields. They used The Tractor image-modeling software to produce de-blended photometry across 13 to 15 optical/infrared bands and determine photometric redshifts. The Catalog contains ~1.5 million sources covering a total area of ~9 square degrees.

SOHO LASCO COMET PHOTOMETRY V1.0

This data set contains aperture photometry of Kreutz sungrazing comets that were observed by the LASCO instrument on SOHO from 1996-2005. Apparent magnitude and the error in the magnitude due to photon statistics are given for circular apertures ranging from 1,2,3...10 pixels in radius. All images were taken either with the C2 telescope (11.9 arcsec/pixel) or the C3 telescope (56 arcsec/pixel). The reduced subimages from which this photometry was calculated are archived with PDS (Knight 2008) [KNIGHT2008] and scientific analysis is in (Knight et al. 2010) [KNIGHTETAL2010].

PHOBOS 2 MARS KRFM PHOTOMETRY V1.0

This data set consists of the set of visual and thermal infrared band photometry of Mars obtained by the KRFM experiment on the Phobos 2 spacecraft. The data are presented as a table of samples for 14 wavelength channels, with successive lines (rows) in the table obtained at 1-second intervals. The 5 infrared channels occur first, followed by 9 visual band channels. These data are preserved for historical reasons, but are not considered to be of archival quality.

EPOXI 103P/HARTLEY2 ENCOUNTER - MRI PHOTOMETRY V1.0

This dataset contains clear-filter, CN, OH, C2, and dust-continuum photometric measurements of comet 103/P Hartley 2 derived from calibrated images acquired by the Medium Resolution Visible CCD (MRI) from 01 October through 26 November 2010, during the Hartley 2 encounter phase of the EPOXI mission. Two different methods were used: simple circular aperture photometry and azimuthal averaged aperture photometry, which removed stars. The results and uncertainties for both procedures are included in this dataset.

S-COSMOS MIPS 160 micron Photometry Catalog

COSMOS is an astronomical survey designed to probe the formation and evolution of galaxies as a function of cosmic time (redshift) and large scale structural environment. The survey covers a 2 square degree equatorial field with imaging by most of the major space-based telescopes (Hubble, Spitzer, GALEX, XMM, Chandra) and a number of large ground based telescopes (Subaru, VLA, ESO-VLT, UKIRT, NOAO, CFHT, and others). Over 2 million galaxies are detected, spanning 75% of the age of the universe.The MIPS 70 and 160 micron catalogs are described in Frayer et al. (2009).

GOODS-N MIPS 24 micron Photometry Catalog

The Great Observatories Origins Deep Survey (GOODS) aims to unite extremely deep observations from NASA's Great Observatories (Spitzer, Hubble and Chandra), ESA's Herschel and XMM-Newton, and the most powerful ground-based facilities. The aim is to survey the distant universe to the faintest flux limits across the broadest range of wavelengths. This catalog provides a list of sources for the MIPS 24 micron imaging of the GOODS-N field. It is limited to flux densities greater than 80 microJy, where the source extraction is highly complete and reliable.

NEAR-INFRARED PHOTOMETRY OF ASTEROIDS FROM DENIS V1.0

The DENIS program (Deep European Near-Infrared southern sky Survey) was a ground-based survey of the southern sky with the aim of providing an extensive I,J,Ks photometric catalog of point and extended sources. It was carried out at the 1.0 meter ESO telescope at La Silla, Chile from late 1995 through the end of 1999. This data set contains the DENIS I,J,Ks photometry for 2000 known asteroids identified in the DENIS catalog.

Belton using the Long Wavelength Spectrometer instrument at the Keck I telescope.

All-Sky Automatic Survey (ASAS) Photometry of ROSAT All-Sky Survey Sources

Photometric data from the All-Sky Automatic Survey (ASAS) - South (Declination less than 29 degrees) Survey have been used for the identification of bright stars located near the sources from the ROSAT All Sky Survey Bright Source Catalog (RASSBSC). In total, 6,028 stars brighter than 12.5 magnitude in the I- or the V-bands have been selected and analyzed for periodicity. Altogether, 2,302 variable stars have been found with periods ranging from 0.137 days to 193 days. Most of these stars have X-ray emission of coronal origin, but there are a few cataclysmic binaries and early type stars with colliding winds. Whenever it was possible, the authors collected data available in the literature so as to verify the periods and to classify variable objects. The catalog includes 1,936 stars (1,233 new) considered to be variable due to presence of spots (rotationally variable), 127 detached eclipsing binary stars (33 new), 124 contact binaries (11 new), 96 eclipsing stars with deformed components (19 new), 13 ellipsoidal variables (4 new), 5 miscellaneous variables and one pulsating RR Lyr type star (blended with an eclipsing binary). More than 70% of the new variable stars have amplitudes smaller than 0.1 magnitudes, but for the star ASAS 063656-0521.0 the authors have found the largest known amplitude of brightness variations due to the presence of spots (up to Delta V = 0.8 magnitudes). This table was created by the HEASARC in May 2018, based on <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/AcA/62/67">CDS Catalog J/AcA/62/67</a> files catalog.dat and remarks.dat.
