The Spitzer South Pole Telescope Deep Field: Survey Design and Infrared Array Camera Catalogs
The Spitzer South Pole Telescope Deep Field (SSDF) is a wide-area survey using Spitzer's Infrared Array Camera (IRAC) to cover 94 deg^2 of extragalactic sky, making it the largest IRAC survey completed to date outside the Milky Way midplane. The SSDF is centered at (α, δ) = (23:30, –55:00), in...

The Spitzer South Pole Telescope Deep Field (SSDF) is a wide-area survey using Spitzer's Infrared Array Camera (IRAC) to cover 94 deg^2 of extragalactic sky, making it the largest IRAC survey completed to date outside the Milky Way midplane.
