FLS: Extragalactic: Spitzer

Main Survey: 4 square degrees with MIPS and IRAC in the Constant Viewing Zone (CVZ)

• 2° x 2° box centered at 17^h18^m00.0^s +59^o30^m00^"
• ~ 80 seconds/pixel on the sky (MIPS), ~60 seconds/pixel (IRAC)
• Cirrus: I(100 um) = 1-2 MJy/sr

Verification survey covers ~5% of main survey area with greater depth and redundancy

• 0.2 square degree strip centered at  17^h17^m00.0^s, +59^o45^m00^s
• ~400 seconds/pixel on the sky (MIPS), ~600 seconds/pixel (IRAC)

Spitzer Observation Summary

The layout of the AORs on the sky is shown in the following figures. The red box marks the field center J1718+5930.

IRAC AORs--Main Survey

IRAC Map Layout

Eight AORs cover the field.

MIPS AORs--Main Survey

MIPS Scan Map Layout

Eight AORs cover the field. Each AOR has the following parameters set in Spot:

Each AOR covers roughly 2 degrees by 30 arcminutes with 40 sec per point on the sky (24 micron and 70 micron arrays). The first set is executed and the observations are repeated by the second set with a half-array offset in the starting position. The colors represent 24 micron (green), 70 micron (blue), and 160 micron (peach).
