S-COSMOS is a deep infrared imaging survey carried out
with the Spitzer
Space Telescope. The survey covers the entire 2 square
degrees of the Cosmic Evolution Survey
(COSMOS) field.
The S-COSMOS and COSMOS projects are closely coupled;
therefore, their data are served as one large
COSMOS Archive, using IRSA's
general search service,
Atlas. For more information

project web site.
S-COSMOS is part of the
Spitzer Legacy Program;
these "Enhanced Products" are from the Spitzer Science Center (SSC) public
data staging location. The data products released are part of the Spitzer General Observer Cycle 2 (GO2) program, including predominantly IRAC products (images and catalog). MIPS data include shallow images/catalogs covering the entire COSMOS field. There are also deep MIPS images covering only a test field of 0.16 sq. degrees for the coming GO3 program. The GO3 products will be public in September 2008.
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 COSMOS
survey involves almost 100 scientists in a
dozen countries.
