GOODS-S IRS 16 micron 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.

GOODS Spitzer IRS 16 micron observations surveyed 150 square arcminutes in each of the two GOODS fields (North and South), to an average 3 sigma depth of 40 and 65 microJy, respectively. These sources have been cross-correlated with Spitzer, Chandra, and HST measurements in other bands.

大天文台起源深度巡天（Great Observatories Origins Deep Survey, GOODS）旨在整合美国国家航空航天局（NASA）旗下大天文台（斯皮策（Spitzer）、哈勃（Hubble）与钱德拉（Chandra））、欧洲空间局（ESA）的赫歇尔（Herschel）和XMM-牛顿（XMM-Newton），以及当前最强大的地面观测设施所获取的极深观测数据。其核心目标是对遥远宇宙开展巡天观测，覆盖最宽广的波长范围，并达到最弱的流量探测极限。

GOODS斯皮策红外摄谱仪（Spitzer IRS）16微米观测项目对两个GOODS天区（北天区与南天区）各自开展了150平方角分的巡天，平均3σ置信度探测深度分别为40微央斯基与65微央斯基。上述天体源已与其他波段下的斯皮策、钱德拉以及哈勃空间望远镜（HST）观测数据完成交叉证认。

本数据集及相关服务由加州理工学院受美国国家航空航天局合同委托运营的红外处理与分析中心（IPAC）下属的红外科学档案库（Infrared Science Archive, IRSA）提供发布。
