The SSC and IRSA are producing a set of Enhanced Imaging products using most of the imaging data in the Spitzer Heritage Archive. These products include Super Mosaics built from multiple programs where appropriate and a Source List (SL) of photometry for compact sources. The SL was designed to be highly reliable; areal coverage and completeness were secondary considerations. The Enhanced Imaging Products include data from the four channels of IRAC (3-8 microns) and the 24 micron channel of MIPS. The Preliminary Data Release covers about 15% of the final planned area and includes 7 million sources.

The IRS Enhanced Products include 17,000 low-resolution merged spectra, and a catalog of synthetic photometry, source positions, PSF profile widths, among other useful quantities. The catalog and spectra may be searched through both Gator and the SHA.
January 12, 2012
The Spitzer Heritage Archive v3.0 includes access to new IRS Enhanced Products and easier access to Contributed Enhanced Products (mostly consisting of Legacy delivered products). In addition, numerous changes to the look and feel of the interface, including significant improvements to the visualization tools, and improved under-the-hood infrastructure have been implemented.

IRSA's Data Discovery Service Radar now searches observations from the Herschel Space Observatory, using the Virtual Observatory interfaces provided by the Herschel Science Archive (HSA) at ESA. The simple Herschel Metadata Search service provides a quick way for IRSA users to search for Herschel coverage.

IRSA announces a new data release from the COSMOS team. The COSMOS-IRS Spitzer Legacy program consists of IRS low resolution spectra of 53 sources in the COSMOS field.
