Spitzer-Cosmic Assembly Near-Infrared Deep Extragalactic Legacy Survey (S-CANDELS)

The Spitzer-Cosmic Assembly Near-Infrared Deep Extragalactic Legacy Survey (S-CANDELS) is a Spitzer Cycle 8 Exploration Program (PI G. Fazio) that obtained deep IRAC channel 1 and 2 imaging in five widely separated extragalactic fields: the UKIDSS Ultra-Deep Survey (UDS), the Extended Chandra Deep Field South (ECDFS), COSMOS, the HST Deep Field North (HDFN), and the Extended Groth Strip (EGS). S-CANDELS builds upon the existing coverage of these fields obtained as part of the Spitzer Extended Deep Survey (SEDS), a Cycle 6 Exploration Program, by increasing the integration time from 12 hours to a total of 50 hours within a smaller area of 0.16 deg2.This dataset or service is made available by the Infrared Science Archive (IRSA) at IPAC, which is operated by the California Institute of Technology under contract with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
