Overview
|
The Spitzer Wide-area InfraRed Extragalactic Survey (SWIRE) is a wide-area, high
galactic latitude, imaging survey to trace the evolution of dusty, star-forming
galaxies, evolved stellar populations, and active galactic nuclei as a function
of environment from redshifts of z ~ 3, when the Universe was about 2 billion
years old, to the present time. SWIRE has surveyed roughly 50 square degrees
with the MIPS far-infrared camera (24, 70 and 160 µm) and the IRAC mid-infrared
camera (3.6, 4.5, 5.8 and 8.0 µm). It also includes optical Ancillary (u, g, r,
i, and z bands) data for selected regions. IRAC 3-color JPEG previews of image
data are available here (and within the search results) for the 6 SWIRE fields:
ELAIS-N1 (EN1), ELAIS-N2
(EN2), Lockman Hole (LH), XMM, ELAIS-S1 (ES1) and Chandra Deep Field
South (CDFS). Ancillary
image and catalog data are also available from Infrared Space Observatory's
ISOCAM observations in the Lockman Hole (both Shallow and Deep Surveys).

Summary.
