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.
S-COSMOS is a
Spitzer Legacy Program.
The S-COSMOS data release includes both IRAC and MIPS data. The IRAC data products (images and catalog) are part of the Spitzer General Observer Cycle 2 (GO2) program, while the MIPS data products (images and catalogs) are part of the Spitzer General Observer Cycle 2+3 (GO2+3) programs.
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.
