FIDEL Spitzer and Ancillary Data
Far-Infrared Deep Extragalactic Legacy Survey
(FIDEL) contains sensitive and extensive far-infrared deep field observations with Spitzer to detect warm dust emission from hundreds of relatively ordinary starburst galaxies and active galactic nuclei at redshifts of 1 to 2 (7 to 10 billion years ago), and thousands more nearby. The survey also detects tens of thousands of high redshift objects at mid-infrared wavelengths. The program is obtaining data in three fields on the sky. The bulk of the data is being taken in two fields, the Extended Chandra Deep Field South (ECDFS) and the Extended Groth Strip (EGS). A smaller amount of additional data is being obtained in the GOODS-North area.

Search results will include cutout images
cropped to the search box as well as the
associated original images which overlap the
area of interest.
FIDEL image "cutouts" in FITS and JPEG format
are accessible using IRSA's
Cutouts Service.
